1.
In a saucepan combine lime juice, 1 1/2 cup sugar, egg yolks, whole eggs and butter, whisk to combine.
Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until mixture comes to a boil, about 10 minutes.
Remove mixture from the heat and strain through a fine mesh sieve into a clean bowl.
Put bowl in an ice bath and place plastic wrap directly on top of the lime curd.
Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, stirring occasionally, at least for 1 hour and up to 2 days.
2.
Place 2 1/2 cups of the heavy cream and confectioner's sugar in a large mixing bowl and whip to soft peaks.
Add all but 3/4 cup of the lime curd to the heavy cream and fold gently but thoroughly to combine.
3.
Place 8 ring molds onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and divide the mousse among the molds.
Freeze until firm, at least 4 hours.
4.
When ready to serve, place the frozen mousse on dessert plates and allow to warm for 4 to 5 minutes before attempting to remove the ring molds.
In a small bowl combine the creme fraiche with the remaining 1 1/2 tbsp heavy cream and stir to combine.
Drizzle some of the reserved lime curd around the mousse (if you have a squirt bottle, place the lime curd in a squirt bottle and drizzle decoratively around the plate) and garnish the mousse with a dollop of the creme fraiche mixture.
Serve!
