Margarita Mousse
Recipe courtesy Paula Deen, 2007

Ingredients
1/4 cup sugar
1 envelope unflavored gelatin
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup limeade concentrate or tequila
1/4 cup fresh orange juice or Triple Sec
4 egg yolks
1 teaspoon grated lime zest
1 cup whipping cream

Meringue:
*3 egg whites
1/4 teaspoon cream or tartar
1/4 cup sugar

Custard:

Directions
In a medium saucepan, combine 1/4 cup of the sugar, the gelatin, and the
salt. Stir in the lemon juice, lime juice, limeade (or tequila), and orange juice (or Triple Sec).
Stir well. In a medium glass dish, whip the egg yolks until they are light. Stir in the lime zest.
Add to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the gelatin is dissolved,
about 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Transfer to a plastic container and allow it to come to room
temperature. Cover and refrigerate, stirring occasionally until the mixture has begun to gel, about
30 minutes.

Ingredients
For the Meringue:

Directions
With an electric mixer, beat egg whites with cream of tartar until soft
peaks form. Gradually beat in the sugar until stiff. Fold in beaten whipped cream.

Remove custard from refrigerator and fold in the meringue. Place the mixture, when finished folding,
back into the refrigerator and let chill.

When serving rim your glass with sugar and pour chilled mousse into glass.

Ingredients
*RAW EGG WARNING
Food Network Kitchens suggest caution in consuming raw and lightly-cooked eggs
Due to the slight risk of Salmonella or other food-borne illness. To reduce this risk, we recommend
you use only fresh, properly-refrigerated, clean, grade A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid
contact between the yolks or whites and the shell.
