Ingredients

Mousse

1 1/2 cups sugar
8 large egg yolks
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup fresh lime juice
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
2 cups chilled whipping cream

Fruit

1 1-pint basket strawberries, hulled, quartered
1 tablespoon sugar
2 mangoes, peeled, pitted, cubed
1 1/2-pint basket raspberries
1 1/2-pint basket blackberries or boysenberries
1 1/2-pint basket blueberries
Fresh lime- and lemon-peel twists
Fresh mint sprigs

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    For mousse: Line 12-cup ring mold with plastic wrap, allowing plastic to overhang edges by 3 inches. Whisk first 6 ingredients in large metal bowl to blend. Set bowl over saucepan of simmering water (do not allow bowl to touch water); whisk until candy thermometer registers 180°F, about 7 minutes. Remove bowl from over water. Using electric mixer, beat mixture until cool and thick, about 8 minutes.

    Step 2

    Beat cream in another large bowl until stiff peaks form. Fold cream into egg mixture. Spoon into mold; smooth top. Cover and freeze overnight. (Can be prepared 1 week ahead. Keep frozen.)

  2. Step 3

    For fruit: Toss strawberries with sugar in large bowl. Let stand 20 minutes. Add mangoes, raspberries, blackberries and blueberries; toss to coat.

    Step 4

    Turn frozen mousse out onto platter. Peel off plastic. Smooth top and sides with metal icing spatula. Mound some fruit in center of mousse. Garnish with lime- and lemon-peel twists and mint. Serve, passing remaining fruit separately.
