  • About

Our tart and buttery Lime Mousse was one of the store’s most popular desserts for years. Team it with our chocolate brownies for a sensational dessert. For variations, substitute fresh lemon or orange for the lime.

Ingredients

  • 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 5 eggs
  • 1</

Method

  1. Melt the butter in the top of a double boiler over simmering water.
  2. Beat the eggs and sugar in a bowl until light and foamy. Add the mixture to the melted butter. Cook gently, stirring constantly, until the mixture becomes a custard, about 8 minutes. Do not overcook or the eggs will scramble.
  3. Remove the custard from the heat and stir in the lime juice
