LEMON BROWNIES
I have never been a huge fan of lemon....until now. These are always a favorite at the never ending potluck going on in the emergency room I work in. I have been wanting to post these for the last year. I hope you enjoy them too.

NO-BAKE LEMON MOUSSE CAKE
I adore the light feel and fresh flavor of lemon desserts, especially during the summer. I designed this recipe to evoke the flavors of lemon cheesecake and the texture of tiramisu with delicate layers of mousse and ladyfingers. The best part? As with an old-fashioned icebox cake, all you need is a refrigerator, no oven required!

Steps:
- Prepare a 9-inch springform pan by flipping the base so that the lip is on the bottom of the
- pan and then latch the pan in place. Spray the inside lightly with nonstick spray.
- For the crust: Combine the cookie crumbs and lemon zest in a medium bowl and toss to combine. Add the butter and toss to combine. Press the mixture firmly over the bottom of the prepared pan. Set aside.
- For the mousse: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the cream on medium-high speed until medium peaks form. Transfer the cream to a separate large bowl and set aside.
- Combine the mascarpone, confectioners' sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, lemon extract, vanilla and salt in the same bowl used to whip the cream. Beat on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Scrape the bowl and whisk attachment and continue to beat until thoroughly combined, about 30 seconds longer. Remove the bowl from the mixer and use a rubber spatula to fold about a third of the whipped cream into the mascarpone cream. Fold the remaining cream into the mascarpone mixture in thirds.
- For assembly: Spread a third of the lemon mousse over the crumb crust. Arrange half of the ladyfingers in a single layer over the mousse. Add another third of the mousse and spread it evenly over the top. Add another layer of lady fingers. Spread the remaining mousse over the ladyfingers and smooth the top. Refrigerate the cake at least 6 hours or overnight.
- To serve, gently run a spatula between the mousse and the edge of the springform pan. Unlatch the pan and slide the cake off the base and onto a serving platter (or serve the cake right from the springform bottom). Smooth the sides of the cake with an offset spatula if desired. Sprinkle the coarsely crushed cookie crumbs in a ring around the outer edge of the top of the cake. Serve chilled.
LEMON MOUSSE CHOCOLATE BROWNIES
Very rich with the tang of lemon. Beautiful combination of flavors. I have also used the microwave instead of a double boiler to melt the chocolate and it works just fine. You can also drizzle melted chocolate over top if desired for even more chocolate punch!

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.
NEW CLASSIC BROWNIES
For a brownie almost as dark and dense as a chocolate truffle, there is Alice Medrich's innovative method for New Classic Brownies: the pan goes directly from a high-heat oven to a bath of ice water, and the just-baked batter slumps, becoming concentrated and intense.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line an 8-inch-square metal baking pan with foil. In top of a double boiler set over barely simmering water, or on low power in a microwave, melt butter and chocolate together. Stir often, and remove from heat when a few lumps remain. Stir until smooth.
- Stir in sugar, vanilla and salt. Stir in eggs one at a time, followed by flour. Stir until very smooth, about 1 minute, until mixture pulls away from sides of bowl. Add nuts, if using. Scrape batter into prepared pan and bake 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare a water bath: Pour ice water into a large roasting pan or kitchen sink to a depth of about 1 inch. Remove pan from oven and place in water bath, being careful not to splash water on brownies. Let cool completely, then lift out and cut into 1-inch squares or wrap in foil.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for the brownies. This will result in a richer, more flavorful dessert.
- Don't overmix the brownie batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense brownie.
- Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Let the brownies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.
- For the lemon mousse, use fresh lemon juice and zest. This will give the mousse a bright, citrusy flavor.
- Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. This will help the mousse to be light and airy.
- Fold the whipped cream into the lemon mixture gently. Overmixing can cause the mousse to deflate.
- Chill the mousse for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the mousse to set properly.
Conclusion:
This lemon mousse chocolate brownie recipe is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The rich, fudgy brownies are topped with a light and airy lemon mousse, creating a perfect balance of flavors and textures. With its elegant presentation, this dessert is sure to impress your guests.
