Cool off with this creamy, bright Lakeside Lime Mousse—an easy no-bake dessert made with just a few simple ingredients. Perfect served in cups or as a graham cracker crust filling, and elevated with zesty lime, white chocolate, and crunchy graham toppings.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup of freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1 TBSP of lime zest (a little more for optional garnish)
  • 1 container of sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 container of whipped topping (I use regular Cool Whip)
  • 1/2 bar of good quality white chocolate
  • About 6 large graham crackers for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix whipped topping with condensed milk and 1 TBSP of lime zest with a rubber spatula until completely incorporated.
  2. Pour into small dessert dishes and chill for at least an hour or even overnight. Mousse will firm up considerably when chilled.
  3. Garnish just before serving with shaved white chocolate, crushed graham crackers and lime zest.

Notes

  1. If you want to get fancy, you can put the whole bowl of prepared mousse in the refrigerator for several hours and once chilled, pipe it, using a pastry bag and star tip, into dessert dishes.
  2. For the lime zest, I use a zester for the garnish vs. a grater to create longer curled pieces of zest.
