Lime is the perfect counterpoint to the richness of heavy cream. This dessert comes together in minutes.
Ingredients
- Zest and juice of 2 limes
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/3 cup confectioner’s sugar or sweetener of choice
- 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Reserve 1 teaspoon of the lime zest. Place the heavy cream in the bowl of a stand mixer or a large bowl with a hand mixer. Beat on low speed, then gradually increase to high. Whip until the cream reaches the soft peak stage, then add in the rest of the ingredients and whip just to combine. Refrigerate the bowl for 1 hour — it will firm up more as it chills.
Step 2
To serve, spoon the mousse into 4 glasses and garnish with the reserved zest.
