With finger limes at the peak of their season, this recipe for “Frankenbrains” is a fun and tasty Halloween treat. Shanley Farms shared this recipe with us and we love how quickly Frankenbrains come together. Your guests will be delighted by the combination of the sweet cream filling combined with the tang and pop of the finger lime pearls.
This recipe can be enjoyed all year long by replacing the green sugar with regular sugar. Or, experiment with other colored sugars for more holidays (pink/red for Valentine’s Day, yellow/purple/green for Mardi Gras, etc.)
