Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 large egg yolks, plus 1 large whole egg
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 cup fresh lime juice, (2 to 3 limes)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup heavy cream, chilled
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 lime, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced into half-moons
1 navel orange, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced into half-moons

Steps:

  • Make citrus curd. Prepare an ice-water bath; set aside. Cook egg yolks, egg, 3/4 cup sugar, and juices in a medium saucepan over medium heat, whisking constantly (be sure to reach sides and bottom of pan) until thickened, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Whisk in butter 1 tablespoon at a time. Set pan in ice-water bath; whisk until cool, about 5 minutes. Pass curd through a sieve into a medium bowl. Press plastic wrap directly onto surface to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until set, 30 to 45 minutes. Whisk cream and 2 tablespoons sugar until stiff peaks form; refrigerate.
  • Whisk one-third of whipped cream into curd. Gently fold in remaining whipped cream. Divide among serving bowls; refrigerate until ready to serve. Dust with cinnamon; garnish with citrus.

Overall, I thought this was a great recipe. The mousse was delicious and easy to make, and it's a great way to use up leftover citrus fruits.

I had some trouble getting the mousse to set properly. I think I might have overbeaten the egg whites, so I'll be careful to avoid that next time.

This mousse was a bit too tart for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. I might try adding a little more sugar next time to balance out the citrus flavors.

I'm not usually a fan of mousse, but this orange lime mousse changed my mind! The flavors were so bright and refreshing, and the texture was so smooth and creamy. I could definitely see myself making this again for a special occasion.
