About Lemon mousse

Lemon mousse is a light and airy dessert hailing from European cuisine, often associated with French gastronomy. Made with a combination of fresh lemon juice, sugar, whipped cream, and eggs, its vibrant citrus flavor pairs beautifully with its silky texture. Some recipes incorporate gelatin for stability or Greek yogurt for a tangy twist. Rich in vitamin C from the lemons, this dessert can provide a refreshing, zesty treat. However, its high sugar content and use of full-fat cream contribute to its indulgent nature, making it a dish best enjoyed in moderation. A serving may also contain notable amounts of cholesterol due to the inclusion of egg yolks. While not a staple for those watching calorie intake, lemon mousse offers a delightful way to savor the natural brightness and tartness of lemons in an elegant, melt-in-your-mouth format.
