Lime Mousse

8 ingredients
5 steps

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons gelatine powder
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1 cup sugar caster
  • 1/2 cup lime juice
  • 2 teaspoons lime zest grated
  • 6 egg whites
  • 1 cup cream

Directions

  1. 1
    Soften the gelatine in the water. Melt it in a bain marie over heat and set aside to cool.
  2. 2
    Beat the egg yolks, sugar and lime juice until combined. Stir the mixture constantly over heat until it forms a custard, coating the back of a spoon. Do not boil - remove from the heat and cool.
  3. 3
    Add the gelatine and lime zest. Beat the egg whites until stiff but not dry. Fold into the cool custard using a spatula. Whip the cream and, when the mousse is beginning to set around the edges, fold it in also.
  4. 4
    Pour the mixture into a large savarin mould and chill at least 2 hours.
  5. 5
    Serve with fresh lime wedges and whipped cream.
