How to Make Lemon Lime Ring With Berries And Mango

  1. **Prepare the Ring Mold:** Line a 12-cup ring mold with plastic wrap, leaving a 3-inch overhang on all sides.
  2. **Make the Mousse Base:** In a large metal bowl, whisk together 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup lemon juice, 1/4 cup lime juice, 1/4 cup water, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 6 large eggs until well combined.
  3. **Cook the Custard:** Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler). Whisk constantly until a candy thermometer registers 180°F (approximately 7-8 minutes).
  4. **Cool and Whip:** Remove from heat and use an electric mixer to beat the mixture until cool and thick (about 8 minutes).
  5. **Whip the Cream:** In a separate large bowl, beat 2 cups heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  6. **Combine Mousse and Cream:** Gently fold the whipped cream into the cooled egg mixture.
  7. **Fill the Mold:** Spoon the mousse mixture into the prepared ring mold. Smooth the top.
  8. **Freeze:** Cover and freeze overnight (or for at least 8 hours).
  9. **Prepare the Fruit:** In a large bowl, toss 1 pint strawberries, hulled and sliced, with 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Let stand for 20 minutes.
  10. **Add Remaining Fruit:** Add 1 cup diced mango, 1/2 cup raspberries, 1/2 cup blackberries, and 1/2 cup blueberries. Toss gently to coat.
  11. **Unmold the Mousse:** Carefully turn the frozen mousse out onto a serving platter. Peel off the plastic wrap.
  12. **Finish and Garnish:** Smooth the top and sides of the mousse using a metal icing spatula. Mound some of the fruit mixture in the center of the mousse. Garnish with lime and lemon peel twists and fresh mint sprigs.
  13. **Serve:** Serve immediately, passing the remaining fruit separately.
