Lime Mousse

After a spicy main meal, this light refreshing mousse tastes exceptionally neat.

Make the tap water hot, but do not let it boil. Slowly add cornstarch, flour, salt and sugar, stirring until thickened.

Mix egg yolks, lime zest and vanilla and add a spoonful of the warm liquid to warm the egg yolks so they don’t curdle easily. Next, mix the egg yolk mixture leisurely into the warm mixture.

Add the butter, lime juice and double cream and mix for another two minutes.

In another baking bowl, whip the egg whites until stiff and gently fold into the mixture. Spread, spread and refrigerate before serving.
