Lemon ‘n’ Lime Mousse
Story
It’s very similar to the Lemon mousse, but I’ve added lime. Gives it that sweet sourness. It’s a little different and maybe a good way to add another taste experience to a good dessert. It goes well after a pepper flavored dark meat meal. It will balance the taste in your mouth.
It’s quite heavy so watch your size in portions.
This dessert is gluten free.

Summary Great combination of sweet, sour and "sweet-sour" lime taste. A heavy dessert that takes no time to make. I'm sure you would ace this without much trouble. The need of very few ingredients makes it a low cost dish to make! It's also gluten free.
