Preparation
In a small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over lime juice; let stand for 5 min. Add half of the sugar and the rum; heat over medium-low heat, stirring until gelatin and sugar are dissolved, about 2 min. Let cool.
In a chilled bowl, whip cream with remaining sugar just until stiff peaks form; fold in lime juice mixture, lime zest and chopped mint. Divide among serving glasses or bowls.
Cover loosely and refrigerate for about 30 min or until set (or for up to 1 day). Garnish with fresh mint.
Tips
When whipping cream, use a chilled, straight-sided bowl and chilled beaters to get the most volume. Be sure not to over beat it for the fluffiest texture.
