Lemon Mousse

A sweet, delicious, creamy and light lemony treat to wash away those winter blues. We give you Lemon Mousse. This mousse is very simple to make and not to mention it taste just as pretty as it looks.

As we were flipping through the new issue of Bake from Scratch magazine we happened to see an article/recipes using Meyer lemons. We got to say all the recipes looked delicious, but as we were looking a each of the recipes we had no idea what a Meyer Lemons was we thought a lemon was a lemon. But we found out they are completely different.

Meyer lemons compared to regular lemons

Meyer lemons are not actually just lemons. They are a cross between a lemon and a mandarin orange. These lemons are not as sour as regular lemons they are almost sweet which makes them excellent for making desserts.

How to make Lemon Mousse

This is recipe simple and only takes a few steps. Next thing you know you will be eating mousse in no time (after it sets of course).

Heavy Cream pouring out of a creamer

Ingredients:

You don’t need a lot of ingredients. This is a very budget-friendly dessert.

  • Meyer Lemons (We need the juice & zest)
  • Sugar
  • Eggs
  • Heavy Cream
  • Powdered SugarBluesberries in a bowl with a creamer and a bowl of lemons

Step by Step Instructions:


Now that we have all our ingredients laid out. Let’s begin, shall we?

In a medium saucepan on low heat using a silicone whisk, mix together the lemon juice, sugar, lemon zest, and eggs.

After mixing everything together we are going to let the lemon mixture sit for 8–10 minutes to allow it to thicken up. Be sure to whisk occasionally.

In a medium-size heatproof bowl, we are going to transfer the lemon mixture into that bowl. After transferring into the bowl cover and let it chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

After the lemon mixture has chilled we can finish the recipe. In a large bowl using an electric hand mixer or a standing mixture on medium speed mix together the lemon mixture, heavy cream, and powdered sugar until peaks form.

After mixing everything together you can leave the mousse to set in the bowl or separate it into individual bowls. Let it set in the refrigerator for 4 hours or overnight.

After waiting patiently you now have yourself a nice light & creamy lemon mousse. You can top with some blueberries or any kind of fruit or leave it as is (it still tastes delicious). We really hope you enjoyed making this mousse as much we did. We hope to make more recipes like this (something we’ve never made before) in the future. It has been a fun learning experience to challenge ourselves. We hope by doing this it will make us better bakers/cooks and photographers.
