CREAMY CAPPUCCINO MOUSSE
I have not tried this mousse. I'm posting this for safe keeping. I found this recipe in Taste Of Home Quick Cooking 2005. This smooth coffee mousse is simple to prepare and absolutely delicious.

Tips:
- Use fresh limes. Fresh limes have a more intense flavor than bottled lime juice, and they will give your mousse a brighter, more refreshing taste.
- Chill your ingredients before you start. This will help the mousse to set up more quickly and smoothly.
- Beat the egg whites until they are stiff peaks. This will help to incorporate air into the mousse, making it light and fluffy.
- Fold the whipped cream into the lime mixture gently. Overmixing can cause the mousse to deflate.
- Chill the mousse for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow it to set up completely and develop its full flavor.
Conclusion:
This creamy lime mousse is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is also relatively low in calories, making it a good choice for those who are watching their weight. If you are looking for a light and flavorful dessert, this creamy lime mousse is a great option.
