Lemon Mousse Recipe

I have tried lots of different methods to make this Lemon mousse recipe, some really complicated.

This is the best and most delicious one so far, and it's really easy.

A great way to use the lovely Spanish lemons that grow on the trees in abundance, around our gardens.
We just have to reach out and help ourselves.

Lemon Mousse Recipe Method

Whisk the sugar and egg yolks together in a large bowl, using an electric mixer, until pale and thick.
Whisk in the lemon juice and zest.
In a small bowl, combine 100ml of almost boiling water with the gelatine and whisk until it dissolves.
Then add to the yolk mixture.
In another bowl, beat the cream until soft peaks form, then fold into the yolk mixture.
In yet another bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form and fold into the cream mixture.
Pour into a large serving dish (or 6 small ones), cover with cling film and chill for 6 hours or overnight.
Decorate with piped whipped cream and sprinkle with lemon zest.
