Ingredients
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 4 teaspoons grated lime zest, plus 1/2 cup lime juice (from 3 to 4 limes, or use bottled Key lime juice)
- Pinch of salt
- 3 large eggs plus 3 egg yolks
- 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
Preparation
Step 1
Whisk the sugar, 1 tablespoon lime zest, the lime juice and salt in a medium saucepan. Whisk the whole eggs and yolks in a small bowl, then whisk into the lime mixture.
Cook the mixture over medium heat, whisking constantly, until it¿s thick like pudding, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter a few pieces at a time until incorporated.
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl, pushing it through with a rubber spatula. Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming; let cool to room temperature. Stir in the remaining 1 teaspoon lime zest. Cover and refrigerate until completely set, at least 4 hours and up to 5 days.
