Lemon mousse (Mousse au citron)

(Lemon mousse)

Light, creamy, and tangy, this is a classic, elegant dessert consisting of eggs, sugar, cream, lemon juice, and lemon zest. The mousse can either be spooned into serving cups and consumed on its own, or it can be used as a key ingredient in a variety of cakes.


Fresh berries and mint are recommended as a garnish. Light, zesty, and refreshing, lemon mousse can be served at any time of year, but it is certainly best enjoyed chilled on a hot, summer day.
