Key Lime Mousse

7 ingredients
3 steps

Ingredients

  • 1/2 tablespoon grated key lime zest
  • 1/2 cup fresh key lime juice
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3/8 cup unsalted butter, cut into bits
  • 2/3 cup chilled heavy cream

Directions

  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. 2
    Force mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl, then quick-chill in an ice bath, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
  3. 3
    Beat cream until it holds stiff peaks, then fold into custard gently but thoroughly. Spoon into glasses and chill at least 2 hours and up to 12.
