Begin by preparing the lime sabayon: In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, lime juice, and the orange juice until well combined and frothy.
Place the bowl over a simmering pot of water (double boiler) and continue whisking constantly until the mixture thickens into a creamy, smooth sabayon. Ensure it does not boil.
Remove from heat and allow the sabayon to cool slightly. It should be luxuriously smooth and hold soft peaks.
In a separate chilled bowl, whisk the heavy cream to soft peaks and gently fold it into the cooled lime sabayon, creating a light and airy mousse.
Spoon the mousse into small chilled serving glasses and let it set in the refrigerator for at least two hours to develop the flavors.
To serve, zest a touch of lime over the top and garnish with a delicate curl of orange zest for a splash of color and a fragrant zest.
