Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy whipping cream
- 0.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 0.25 cups Freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, pour the heavy whipping cream.
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the heavy cream on medium speed until it begins to thicken, about 2-3 minutes.
Gradually add the powdered sugar in batches while continuing to whip the cream on medium-high speed.
Once the cream has soft peaks, lower the mixer speed and slowly drizzle in the freshly squeezed lemon juice.
Add the lemon zest and vanilla extract, then increase the mixer speed back to medium-high and whip until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overmix.
Taste the mousse and adjust with a little extra powdered sugar or lemon juice if needed, based on your sweetness or tartness preference.
Spoon or pipe the lemon mousse into individual serving glasses or bowls.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the mousse to set and chill before serving.
Garnish with extra lemon zest, whipped cream, or fresh berries, if desired, and enjoy!
