Ingredients

2 teaspoons gelatine powder

1/2 cup water

1 cup sugar (caster)

1/2 cup lime juice

2 teaspoons grated lime zest

1 cup cream

Preparation

1

Soften the gelatine in the water. Melt it in a bain marie over heat and set aside to cool.

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

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

Pour the mixture into a large savarin mould and chill at least 2 hours.

5

Serve with fresh lime wedges and whipped cream.

6

Oranges and lemons, or a combination of each, can also be substituted.
