Karen'S Key Lime Pudding

• 1 tablespoon lime zest
• 3/4 cup fresh lime or key lime juice
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 4 pieces large eggs at room temp
• 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3/4 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup confectioner's sugar

1. Fit a medium sized bowl with a fine mesh sieve; set aside
2. Combine the lime zest, lime juice, sugar and eggs in medium saucepan. Add butter and bring mixture to a very controlled simmer, stirring almost constantly- per medium-low heat. Once the mixture has thickened ( it should be able to coat the back of a spoon) remove from heat and pour through the sieve. Place the bowl in the fridge for at least two hours.
3. Once the pudding has chilled, whip the cream an confectioner's sugar together in a mixture until stiff peaks begin to form. Fold the cream into the cooled pudding, stirring until completely combined.
