    Re-hydrate the gelatin with the water.

    Heat a first part of the cream (200 g) to 60°C with the sugar, condensed milk, lime and lemon zest and let infuse for 20 minutes. 

    Add the gelatine mass and let melt.

    Filter and pour in the second part of the cream (300 g) hot mixture over the mascarpone.

    Emulsify with a hand blender.

    Once mixed, continuing blending while adding the remaining cold cream(2).
