Separate the eggs. Get the yellow part into a waterbath(a metal bowl swimming in pot of hot water) together with 90 ml of the lime juice, the sugar and the ron. Mix it.
Beat the egg white together with the last 10 ml of the juice until it gets real stiff. Now heat up the waterbath and beat the eggs until they get whity and stiff too. Then fold the yellow quickly into the beaten white. Do it gently but quick. Take 100 g of the banana and purree it. Fold it in to the eggs too. Put into the cups you want to serve it in and get it into the fridge for at least 4 hours. Rub off the skin of the limette and cut the fruit into thin slices.

Rum-Orange Sabayon

4 Oranges, at least one untreated
4 real fresh egg yolk
2 EL de la Grenade Liqueur
50 g brown sugar
80 ml brown ron
fresh grounded pepper
clovepowder

Wash the untreated orange with hot water and dry it. Peel of half of the skin in fine stripes for decoartion purposes. Rub off the rest of the skin. Peel the

oranges and get out the filets (that means also get off the fine white skin of the pieces) Put these filets into a flat bowl and dribble the liqueur over them. Dust

them with the clove powder and the pepper.
Get the orangeskin ogether with the ron egg yolk, the sugar and the ron into a water bath. Heat up the water and beat the mass so that it gets foamy and more thick.

Better you try that once before so that you know it. Else you may produce scrambled eggs... Get the mass from the water and continue beating it for a while until

it cooled down a bit.
For serving get the Sabayon on a plate, drape the orange filets around it and decorate all with the peeled skin.
