Step 3

Slowly pour a small amount of the warmed key lime mixture into the egg mixture whisking until combined and adding remaining of the warm lemon mixture

Once all of the key lime and egg mixture is fully combined add it all back to the pan and place over medium heat, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon. Cook for 2-3 minutes

Take off the heat and immediately stir in butter cubes to bring the temperature down. Once butter is fully combined add heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt.
