FRESH LEMON MOUSSE

Categories     dessert

Time 1h27m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 extra-large whole eggs
3 extra-large eggs, separated
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (4 lemons)
Kosher salt
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup good bottled lemon curd, at room temperature
Sweetened Whipped Cream, recipe follows
Sliced lemon, for garnish
1 cup cold heavy cream
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemons. Fresh lemons will give your mousse a brighter, more vibrant flavor than bottled lemon juice.
  • Zest your lemons before you juice them. This will help release the essential oils from the lemon peel, which will give your mousse a more complex flavor.
  • Strain your lemon juice. This will remove any seeds or pulp from the juice, which can make your mousse grainy.
  • Chill your cream and whisk before you whip it. This will help the cream whip up faster and more evenly.
  • Don't overwhip the cream. Overwhipped cream will be grainy and stiff, and it will not hold its shape well in the mousse.
  • Fold the whipped cream into the lemon mixture gently. This will help prevent the mousse from deflating.
  • Chill the mousse for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the mousse to set properly.

Conclusion:

Lemon Charlotte mousse is a light, refreshing, and flavorful dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you prefer a tart or sweet mousse, or you want to add other flavors like berries or chocolate, this recipe is a great starting point. So next time you are looking for a delicious and impressive dessert, give lemon Charlotte mousse a try.
