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.

LEMON MOUSSE

Make these smart, simple desserts ahead of time for a relaxed Friday night supper with friends

Provided by Sarah Cook

Categories     Dessert, Dinner

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 4

300g or 312g jar good-quality lemon curd (we used Tiptree)
zest 1 lemon
300ml pot whipping or double cream
25g lemon shortbread or crunchy lemon flavoured biscuits, plus extra to serve, if you like

Steps:

  • Put two-thirds of the lemon curd into a large bowl with the zest and cream, then beat with an electric whisk until it just holds its shape. Dribble over the rest of the lemon curd and divide between 6 small glass pots or glasses, marbling the curd through as you go. Sit the pots on a small tray, cover the whole lot with cling film and freeze for 30-40 minutes.
  • Put the biscuits in a strong plastic bag and bash with the end of a rolling pin to crumbs. When you're ready for pudding, remove the pots from the freezer (they should be ice cold but still soft and creamy), top with crumbs and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemons for the best flavor. Lemons that are too old or have been sitting for too long will have a less intense flavor.
  • Zest the lemons before juicing them. This will help to release the essential oils from the peel, which will give the mousse a more intense lemon flavor.
  • When whipping the egg whites, make sure to whip them until they are stiff peaks. This will help to incorporate air into the mousse, making it light and fluffy.
  • Fold the whipped egg whites into the lemon mixture gently. Overmixing can cause the mousse to deflate.
  • Chill the mousse for at least 2 hours before serving. This will help it to set and develop its full flavor.
  • Serve the mousse with fresh berries or a dollop of whipped cream for a special treat.

Conclusion:

This lemon mousse with berries is a light and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be made ahead of time, making it a great option for busy weeknights. The combination of the tangy lemon flavor and the sweetness of the berries is sure to please everyone at the table. With a little planning, you can easily make this mousse at home. Just be sure to follow the steps carefully and you'll be rewarded with a delicious and impressive dessert.
