Green Chili Peppers are an everyday cuisine to the indigenous New Mexicans so I wanted to incorporate the flavor and taste into something unique and pleasant. I thought an ice cream would be nice, and wow, what a pleasant kick. You won’t be disappointed! P.S. I thought the batch with the twist of lime tasted the best before it completely set overnight, however, the next day I preferred the batch without it since the smoky cumin flavor really complimented the taste of the green chilis!
