Ingredients

  • 10 pieces Gelatin powder, unsweetened

  • 800 ml Water

  • 2 piece Egg, egg yolk, fresh

Steps

  1. Wash the limes thoroughly with hot water and dry them completely with a kitchen towel. Finely grate the zest of two limes, and squeeze the juice from all the limes. Soak the gelatin in cold water, as instructed on the packaging. Rinse the ceramic molds with cold water.

  2. In a small pot, bring water, lime juice, and 50 g of sugar to a boil. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the soaked gelatin. Mix well until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Place the pot in a cold water bath and whisk with a hand mixer for about 5 minutes to cool the mixture completely.

Fill the ceramic molds to the top with the prepared cream. Cover the molds and refrigerate for 3 hours until the cream is completely set.
