How to Make Lime Mousse

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup heavy cream, ½ cup powdered sugar, ¼ cup fresh lime juice, zest of 1 lime, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  2. Beat with an electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form, about 4-5 minutes. Be careful not to overbeat.
  3. Gently spoon the mousse into individual dessert dishes or glasses.
  4. Garnish with lime wedges and fresh mint leaves, if desired.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the mousse to set before serving. For best results, chill for 2-3 hours.
