Yes..it's a splurge..but worth it Ingredients:
1/2 tablespoon grated key lime zest |
1/2 cup fresh key lime juice |
1/2 cup sugar |
1 pinch salt |
3 large eggs |
3/8 cup unsalted butter, cut into bits |
2/3 cup chilled heavy cream |
Directions:
1. 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.
2. Force mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl, then quick-chill in an ice bath, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
3. 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.
