Steps:
- Prepare ice-water bath in large bowl. Juice 1 lemon; reserve juice. Juice additional lemons to yield 1 cup. Make lemon curd: Place 1 cup lemon juice, sugar, egg yolks, whole eggs, and butter in saucepan; whisk to combine. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly until it begins to boil, about 7 minutes.
- Strain curd through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl set in the ice bath. Stir periodically until cool; remove from ice bath. Place plastic wrap directly on surface of curd to prevent a skin from forming; refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 3 days.
- Place 1 1/2 cups chilled heavy cream in large mixing bowl; whisk until soft peaks form. Reserve 1/2 cup lemon curd for sauce; add remaining lemon curd to whipped cream. Fold gently until well combined.
- Place an 8-inch nonstick springform pan on baking sheet. Transfer mousse to springform pan. Place in freezer on sheet until firm, at least 4 hours.
- Drain candied lemon zest; reserve syrup. Make the lemon sauce: Whisk 1/3 cup syrup, reserved 1/2 cup lemon curd, and reserved juice of 1 lemon in a small bowl. Remove frozen mousse from freezer and let warm 4 to 5 minutes at room temperature. Meanwhile, whisk creme fraiche and remaining 2 tablespoons cream in medium bowl until soft peaks form. Remove sides of springform pan. Slice mousse and place on plates. Spoon lemon sauce around mousse; top with creme fraiche. Garnish with candied zest, and serve.
FRESH LEMON MOUSSE
Steps:
- In a large heat-proof bowl, whisk together the 3 whole eggs, 3 egg yolks, 1 cup sugar, the lemon zest, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Place the bowl over a pan of simmering water and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, for about 10 to 12 minutes until the mixture is thick like pudding. (I change to a whisk when the mixture starts to get thick.) Take off the heat and set aside for 15 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours, until completely chilled.
- Place half the egg whites and a pinch of salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on high speed. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and continue to beat until the whites are stiff and shiny. Carefully fold the beaten whites into the cold lemon mixture with a rubber spatula. Place the cream in the same bowl of the electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (no need to clean the bowl) and beat on high speed until the cream forms stiff peaks. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the lemon mixture. Fold in the lemon curd, and pour into a 7-inch-diameter, 3-inch-deep souffle dish. Decorate with sweetened whipped cream and lemon slices that have been cut into quarters. Chill and serve cold.
- Place the cream, sugar, and vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whip on medium and then high speed until the cream just forms still peaks. Spoon the whipped cream into a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip.
FROZEN LEMON MOUSSE
Steps:
- Cut 2-inch holes out of the bottom of a large tin foil roasting pan in neat rows, leaving 1 to 2 inches in between the holes. Invert the pan and place paper cooler cups in the holes to hold them upright during freezing.
- In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan combine the lemon juice, sugar, yolks, egg, and butter. Over medium heat, whisk the mixture constantly until thickened. Strain it into a bowl set over ice and chill it, stirring to thicken slightly. Fold in the whipped cream and pour or pipe into paper cones set in the prepared tin foil roasting pan. Freeze overnight. Peel off the paper and serve the cone flat side down and serve with berries.
- In a small saucepan bring water, sugar and vanilla bean to a boil. Add blackberries and turn off the heat. Fish the berries out of the hot liquid with a slotted spoon, and transfer them to a plate in a single layer and allow to cool.

FROZEN LEMON MOUSSE CONES
I learned to make and love lemon curd while living in England. This does it one better, lightening it with whipped cream to make a foolproof frozen mousse. My mother Myrna loved lemon so on Mother's Day that's what I think to make. Serve this for breakfast with mixed berries in season or as a dessert with poached peach halves and raspberry sauce, sort of an updated Peach Melba.

- Remove the zest from the lemons with a vegetable peeler, keeping the pieces long. Remove the white pith using a paring knife. Cut into a fine julienne using a very sharp knife. Place the julienned zest in a small bowl; cover with boiling water. Let stand 30 minutes; drain.
- Bring the sugar and the cool water to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat.

FROZEN LEMON MOUSSE
If you don't have ring molds you can either order them online, or do what I did and save soup cans. Remove both ends and use a bottle brush to clean well-my husband used a file to get rid of the sharp bits for me. They work great for this recipe-I use them for individual cakes as well. This recipe calls for Candied Lemon Zest-ingredients and directions will follow mousse instructions. Candied Violets are a nice touch as well. Read through instruction before making this dessert-it's easy to make but takes alot of chill time. Prep time will reflect 1 day.

Tips:
- Use fresh lemons for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will not be as good.
- Make sure the cream and the egg whites are very cold before you whip them. This will help them to whip up more easily and give you a lighter, fluffier mousse.
- Don't overbeat the cream or the egg whites. If you overbeat them, they will become grainy and the mousse will not be as smooth.
- Garnish the mousse with fresh lemon zest or a dollop of whipped cream before serving.
Conclusion:
This frozen lemon mousse is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is light and fluffy, with a bright lemon flavor. The mousse is also very easy to make, and it can be made ahead of time. If you are looking for a delicious and easy dessert, this frozen lemon mousse is the perfect choice.
