Here’s a simple recipe for a delightful lemon mousse using just three ingredients:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (240 ml) of heavy cream
- 1/3 cup (80 ml) of lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1/2 cup (100 g) of granulated sugar
Instructions:
- Whip the Cream:
- In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. You can use an electric mixer on medium speed for about 3-4 minutes.
- Add Sugar:
- Gradually add the sugar to the whipped cream while continuing to mix until stiff peaks form. This should take another 2-3 minutes.
- Incorporate Lemon Juice:
- Slowly pour in the lemon juice while gently folding it into the whipped cream mixture. The acid from the lemon juice will slightly thicken the mousse as it combines with the cream.
- Chill and Serve:
- Spoon the mousse into serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours to allow it to set.
- Garnish with a bit of lemon zest or a mint leaf if desired, and enjoy your light and refreshing lemon mousse!
This mousse is quick to prepare and perfect for a light, tangy dessert!
