Description
Creamy Lemon Mousse is a refreshing, no-bake dessert that combines whipped cream, condensed milk, and fresh lemon juice, resulting in a light, fluffy, and tangy treat perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
1 cup of heavy whipping cream (cold)
1/2 cup of condensed milk
1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice
Lemon zest (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whip the cold heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add the condensed milk and fresh lemon juice to the whipped cream, folding gently until everything is well combined.
- Serve the mousse in small glasses or bowls and garnish with lemon zest for an extra burst of citrus aroma.
- Refrigerate the mousse for at least 2 hours to allow it to set properly before serving.
Notes
- Berry Topping: Add fresh berries, such as raspberries, blueberries, or strawberries, on top for an added fruity touch.
- Extra Zesty: For a more pronounced lemon flavor, increase the amount of lemon juice or add lemon extract.
- Chocolate Twist: You can drizzle melted chocolate over the mousse or fold some cocoa powder into the whipped cream mixture for a chocolate-lemon combination.
- Vegan Option: Substitute the heavy cream with coconut cream and use a dairy-free condensed milk alternative.
- Storage: Store the mousse in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Make sure to keep it chilled as it’s a perishable dessert.
- Reheating: This mousse is best served cold, and reheating is not recommended. If it becomes too firm after chilling, you can gently stir it to restore its creamy texture.
