Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Whip the heavy cream and refrigerate.
Mix the mascarpone with the granulated sugar. Add the sour cream, lime zest, and vanilla extract and mix well.
Gently fold the chilled whipped cream into the lime cream mixture. Finally, pour in the lime juice and mix thoroughly once more.
Divide the mousse among four dessert glasses and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Garnish the mousse with fresh lime before serving.

Tip: Granulated sugar dissolves slowly in mascarpone, so stir until it no longer feels gritty, or replace it with the same amount of powdered sugar.
