Preparation
-
Separate the eggs:
Separate the egg whites from the yolks and set both aside. -
Prepare the lemon base:
In a large bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until the mixture becomes pale and creamy.
Add the lemon juice and grated zest, then whisk until smooth and well combined. -
Beat the egg whites:
In another bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. -
Fold in the whites:
Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the lemon mixture using a spatula.
Mix carefully to keep the mousse light and airy. -
Add the whipped cream:
Fold in the whipped cream gently until the mousse is smooth and fluffy. -
Chill:
Spoon the lemon mousse into individual dessert glasses or a large serving dish.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set and firm. -
Serve:
Just before serving, garnish each glass with a mint leaf, a little extra whipped cream, and some grated lemon zest for a beautiful, gourmet touch.
🍋 Serving suggestion:
Serve well chilled for a refreshing, melt-in-the-mouth dessert that balances sweetness and citrus tang perfectly.
