3. Add the lemon
Add the lemon juice and grated zest to the whipped cream. Gently mix with a spatula or rubber spatula, using slow, upward movements to keep the mousse light. The mixture should remain smooth and creamy.
4. Dress
Divide the lemon mousse into 4 glasses or small bowls for 5 minutes using a spoon or piping bag for a neat presentation. Lightly tap the glasses on the countertop to even out the surface.
5. Decorate and Serve
Sprinkle with lemon zest or cookie crumbs for a crunchy, decorative touch. Serve immediately for optimal freshness, or refrigerate for 30 minutes if you prefer a slightly firmer mousse.
Tips for a Successful Easy Lemon Mousse
Use very cold cream and a chilled bowl for perfect whipped cream.
Adjust the sugar according to the acidity of the lemon or your preference.
Vary the flavors: add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or replace the lemon with lime.
Store in the refrigerator (1-2 days) in closed containers to preserve texture.
