Light Lemon Mousse image

This recipe comes from the Fall 2006 issue of Cooking for 2. It is very light and makes a quick weeknight dessert for 2. The recipe is credited to Joan Jay of Frisco, TX. I use Splenda when making this and it works great.

This lemon mousse was way too tart for my taste. I love lemon desserts, but this was just too much. I ended up adding some sugar to it, which helped a bit. But I would not recommend this recipe to anyone who doesn't like tart desserts.

This lemon mousse was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. The flavor was a bit bland, and the texture was a bit too firm. I probably won't make this again.

This recipe was a complete disaster! The mousse never thickened, and it ended up being more like a soup. I'm not sure what I did wrong, but I would not recommend this recipe.
