This refreshing Lemon Mousse offers a delightful burst of tangy lemon flavor with a creamy, light texture. Perfect for any gathering, it’s a simple, no-bake dessert that’s sure to impress both beginners and experienced cooks alike.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons confectioner’s sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup lemon curd
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
