Tips:
- Use fresh lemons. Fresh lemon juice and zest provide the best flavor for this mousse. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will be less bright.
- Make sure the gelatin is completely dissolved before adding it to the mousse. If the gelatin is not completely dissolved, it will cause the mousse to be lumpy.
- Whip the cream until it forms stiff peaks. This will help the mousse to be light and fluffy.
- Chill the mousse for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the mousse to set properly.
- Garnish the mousse with fresh lemon zest or a dollop of whipped cream before serving. This will add a touch of elegance and flavor.
