Key Lime Mousse Cups Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, milk and juice until smooth; fold in whipped cream. Pipe into tart shells. Garnish with raspberries and lime wedges if desired. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Grate the required zest and squeeze 1 cup juice from limes.
• In pot over medium heat, combine juice, sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks and ginger.
• Cook, stirring often, until mixture coats back of spoon and instant read thermometer registers 160 degrees fahrenheit, about five minutes, (do not overcook or the mixture will curdle); then remove from heat.
• Stir in zest and food coloring if using it; then transfer to a large bowl and cover the surface directly with plastic wrap and regrigerate for about an hour.
• Meanwhile, in a small pot over low heat, warm 1/2 cup of the cream until it is about room temperature, warm to the touch.
• Sprinkle gelatin over the warmed cream; let stand for a minute or two to soften; over low heat cook, stirring constantly, until dissolved, 1-2 minutes; cool away from the heat for five minutes.
• At high speed, beat the 1/4 cup sugar with the remaining cream until soft peaks form.
• Reduce the speed to medium and gradually drizzle the gelatin mixture into the cream; beat until stiff; reserve one cup of the whipped cream mixture; cover and refrigerate.
• Fold remaining gelatin/cream mixture into the lime custard; cover surface with plastic wrap and refrigerate until set, about 4 hours.
• Pipe or spoon mousse into glasses or bowls; top with reserved whipped cream and garnish as desired -- then pig out.

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, soak the gelatin in warm water until it softens and dissolves, stirring occasionally. Gradually stir the lime juice and zest into the gelatin and set mixture aside.
• In a large bowl, beat eggs, sugar, and salt at high speed until thick and foamy, 7-10 minutes. Reduce speed to low and beat in key lime mixture.
• Cover bowl and refrigerate until mixture begins to set but is still liquidy- approx 1 hour.
• Whip 1 cup of whipping cream until it forms soft peaks and fold into key lime mixture.
• Pour half the key lime mixture into a large bowl and sprinkle a layer of crushed graham cracker crumbs on top, reserving 3 tablespoons. Fill bowl with remaining key lime mixture and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
• Before serving, whip remaining cream with confectioners' sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Pipe or spoon cream on mousse and sprinkle remaining graham cracker crumbs on top.
• Garnish with sliced limes.

Steps:

• Whisk together zest, juice, sugar, salt, and eggs in a small heavy saucepan. Add butter and cook over medium-low heat, whisking frequently, until thick enough to hold marks of whisk, about 5 minutes. Force through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, then quick-chill in an ice bath, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
• Beat cream until it holds stiff peaks, then fold into custard gently but thoroughly. Spoon into glasses and chill at least 2 hours and up to 12.

Steps:

• Melt butter in heavy small skillet over medium heat. Mix in sugar and stir until bubbling, about 1 minute. Mix in crumbs; stir until color deepens, about 3 minutes. Turn out onto plate and cool.
• Stir condensed milk, lime juice and lime peel in large bowl to blend (mixture will thicken). Using electric mixer, beat cream in medium bowl until firm peaks form; fold into lime mixture.
• Place 1/4 cup lime mousse in each of six 8- to 10-ounce wine goblets. Top each with 1 tablespoon crumb mixture, then 1/4 cup mousse. Top parfaits with remaining crumb mixture. Refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours.

Steps:

• Combine graham crumbs, butter and 2 Tbsp. sugar until blended.
• Grate zest, then squeeze juice from 3 limes. Reserve remaining lime for later use.
• Beat cream cheese, milk, lime zest, lime juice and remaining sugar in medium bowl with mixer until blended. Gently stir in 1-1/2 cups COOL WHIP.
• Reserve 1 Tbsp. graham crumb mixture for later use; spoon remaining crumb mixture evenly into 10 (4-oz.) glass jars. Top with layers of cream cheese mixture and remaining COOL WHIP. Sprinkle with reserved crumb mixture.
• Refrigerate 1 hour. Cut remaining lime into 10 wedges; use to garnish desserts just before serving.
