Instructions

Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat the heavy whipping cream on high speed until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk. Whisk or beat with a hand mixer for about 30 to 40 seconds, until the mixture is completely smooth and no lumps remain.
Pour in the fresh lime juice and stir until fully incorporated. The acidity will slightly thicken the base.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the lime mixture using a spatula. Work slowly so you don’t deflate the mousse.
You can serve immediately for a softer texture or refrigerate for at least 1 hour for a firmer, more mousse-like consistency.

Notes

Key limes are much smaller and slightly less tart compared to the Persian limes you typically see in stores. However, both can be used in this sweet treat so don't fret if you can't find Key Limes in your store.
