Fluffy, citrusy and delicious

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1

    Squeeze the lemons and strain the juice through a mesh sieve to remove any seeds or pulp for a smooth texture.

  2. 2

    In a small saucepan, whisk together the lemon juice, sugar, and cornstarch until well combined and smooth.

  3. 3

    Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring constantly. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until it thickens into a creamy consistency.

  4. 4

    Remove the mixture from heat and let it cool slightly. Then, transfer to the fridge to chill for about 30 minutes to 1 hour, or completely cold.

  5. 5

    In a large bowl, whip the cream until peaks form.

  6. 6

    Stir about 1/4 of the whipped cream into the chilled lemon mixture to lighten it, using the electric whisks.

  7. 7

    Fold the rest of the whipped cream into the lemon mixture gently until fully combined and smooth.

  8. 8

    Spoon or pipe the mousse into serving dishes and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm up, or enjoy right away for a softer, airier mousse.
