Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons confectioner’s sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup lemon curd
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
Instructions
- Whip the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, confectioner’s sugar, and a pinch of salt. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer set on medium speed, whip the mixture for 2-3 minutes until medium peaks form. This will give the mousse the perfect consistency to hold its shape.
- Incorporate the Lemon: Gently fold in the lemon curd and lemon zest into the whipped cream. Stir thoroughly to ensure an even flavor throughout the mousse, keeping its light and airy texture.
- Serve and Garnish: Spoon the mousse into eight small dessert glasses, filling each about halfway. Optionally, top with additional whipped cream or a sprinkle of lemon zest for extra flavor and a beautiful presentation.
- Refrigerate: Place the mousse in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours, to allow it to set and for the flavors to meld together beautifully.
- Serve: After chilling, serve the mousse and enjoy its refreshing, creamy lemon flavor.
Notes
- For a more intense lemon flavor, you can add extra lemon zest or a few drops of lemon extract.
- You can also serve the mousse with fresh berries or a drizzle of honey for an added touch.
- This mousse can be made up to a day in advance, making it a perfect dessert for busy occasions.
