If you want to make some variations to this recipe, try this. Add 1/4 cup of shredded unsweetened coconut to the mixture before freezing. You can also use lemon zest or orange zest instead of lime zest. You can also swap out the lemon juice for fresh orange juice instead. In this recipe, maple syrup is used as a natural sweetener.
