TOMMY BAHAMA KEY LIME PIE WITH WHITE CHOCOLATE MOUSSE WHIPPED CR
I found this on the Tommy Bahama Site and am posting to take to a Memorial Day Picnic. Cooking time includes both cooking and cooling times. The original recipe calls for an uncooked pastry crust, but I prefer a graham cracker crust. You can use either.

Tips:
- Use fresh key limes. Fresh key limes have a more intense flavor than bottled or frozen lime juice, and they will give your mousse a brighter, more citrusy flavor.
- Zest your limes before juicing them. The zest of a key lime contains a lot of flavor, so be sure to zest your limes before juicing them. You can use a microplane, a zester, or a sharp knife to zest your limes.
- Use a high-quality white chocolate. The quality of the white chocolate you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your mousse. Look for a white chocolate that is made with real cocoa butter and has a smooth, creamy texture.
- Whip the cream until it is stiff peaks. This will help to create a light and fluffy mousse. Be sure to whip the cream until it is stiff peaks, but not over-whipped, or it will become grainy.
- Fold the whipped cream into the white chocolate mixture gently. This will help to prevent the mousse from becoming deflated. Use a spatula to fold the whipped cream into the white chocolate mixture until it is just combined.
- Chill the mousse for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the mousse to set and develop its flavor. You can chill the mousse for up to 24 hours.

Key lime mousse is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be made ahead of time, making it a great option for parties and gatherings.
