Lime Mousse

What a wonderful way to 'kick off' Spring than a luscious fruity mousse! This is super easy to make and has only 4 ingredients (not counting the water). Most people really stuff themselves at a holiday feast, so I think this dessert would be so much lighter than a cake or pie or some cookies......and alot lower in PointsPlus™ as well!!!
