Key Lime Mousse

By Chez_Alexander

Ingredients

• 1/2 TBS grated Key Lime zest
• 1/2 cup fresh Key Lime juice
• 1/2 cup sugar
• Pinch of salt
• 3 large eggs
• 3/4 stick butter, cubed
• 2/3 cup chilled heavy cream

Preparation

Step 1

1. Whisk together zest, juice, sugar, salt, and eggs in a small heavy saucepan. Add butter and cook over medium-low heat, whisking frequently, until thick enough to hold marks of whisk, about 5 minutes.

2. Force through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl, then quick-chill in an ice bath, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.

3. Beat cream until it holds stiff peaks, then fold into custard gently but thoroughly.

4. Spoon into glasses and chill at least 2 hours and up to 12 hours.
