Soak the gelatine in ice water until softened, squeeze out
excess water and set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer,
whip the cold cream to soft peaks and place in the fridge
until ready to use.
Make a swiss meringue by mixing the egg and sugar in a
bowl then cooking over a Bain-Marie to 60C. Once it has
reached 60C, transfer the mixture to the bowl of a stand
mixer and whip to medium peaks. Weigh out 100g of the
meringue in a bowl.
Mix the pectin and sugar together in a bowl. In a saucepan,
heat half of the lime juice to 40C, add the pectin mixture
and bring to a boil. Remove the saucepan from the heat,
add the rest of the lime juice and gelatine then mix. Cool to
28-30C in an ice bath.

Remove the cream from the fridge and place into a bowl.
Add the lime to the cream and mix to combine. Fold in the
meringue then transfer to a piping bag. Pipe the mixture
into the mould. Unmould the cremeux and place on top of
the mousse, pressing down gently in the centre. Pipe an-
other layer of mousse on top. Cut out the mint sponge and
place it on top of the mousse. Place a sheet of baking paper
on top of the mould and use a tray to press down on top of
the gateaux. Place in the freezer.
