• Ingredients: 7
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1⁄2 tablespoon grated key lime zest
• 1⁄2 cup fresh key lime juice
• 1⁄2 cup sugar
• 1 pinch salt

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.

This was very tasty. I had some cream and eggs that I had to use up, so I did a search with those ingredients and this showed up, and I made it. Thanks!
