Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Prepare the limes

Zest 2 of the limes and set the zest aside. Juice all 4 limes, yielding about 1/2 cup of lime juice.

2
Mix lime juice and condensed milk

In a large bowl, whisk together the lime juice and 14 ounces of sweetened condensed milk until well combined.

3
Prepare the gelatin

In a small bowl, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of unflavored gelatin over 1/4 cup of cold water. Let it stand for 5 minutes to allow the gelatin to soften.

4
Melt the gelatin

Place the bowl with the softened gelatin over a saucepan of simmering water. Stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.

5
Add gelatin to lime mixture

Slowly pour the melted gelatin into the lime and condensed milk mixture, whisking constantly until well combined.

6
Whip the cream

In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy cream until stiff peaks form.

7
Fold whipped cream into lime mixture

Gently fold the whipped cream into the lime mixture until well combined and no white streaks remain.

8
Add lime zest

Stir in the reserved lime zest until evenly distributed.

9
Chill the mousse

Divide the mousse evenly among 6 individual serving dishes or glasses. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.

10
Serve

Serve the chilled lime mousse garnished with a slice of lime or a sprig of fresh mint, if desired.
