Method
Preparation
- Zester the lemons to retrieve the zest, then squeeze the lemons to extract the juice.
- In a small bowl, soak the gelatin in cold water for about 5 minutes.
- In a saucepan, heat the lemon juice with the sugar over low heat until the sugar is dissolved.
- Remove the saucepan from heat, then add the squeezed gelatin to the hot lemon mixture. Stir until completely dissolved.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks. Gradually pour the warm lemon mixture into the egg yolks while whisking to prevent the eggs from cooking.
- In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks.
- Add the lemon mixture to the beaten egg whites and gently mix. Then fold in the whipped cream.
- Pour the mousse into glasses or a mold and refrigerate for at least 3 hours to set.
Notes
Serve the lemon mousse in individual cups. Garnish with a thin slice of lemon or zest on top. Serve chilled. Can also be accompanied by cookies or fresh fruit.
