Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Heavy cream
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
• 3 large Egg whites
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 2 cups Fresh raspberries
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar (for raspberry sauce)
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Cover and refrigerate.

Step 2

In another small bowl, combine the lemon juice and lemon zest. Set aside to let the flavors meld.

Step 3

In a clean, dry mixing bowl, beat the egg whites using an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar, one tablespoon at a time, and beat until glossy and stiff peaks form.

Step 4

Gently fold the lemon juice and zest mixture into the whipped cream. Next, fold in the egg whites in three additions, being careful not to deflate the mixture. Transfer the mousse to serving glasses or bowls. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.

Step 5

To make the raspberry sauce, combine the fresh raspberries, granulated sugar, and water in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries break down and the mixture begins to thicken, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 6

Remove the raspberry sauce from heat and pass it through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove seeds. Stir in the vanilla extract and let the sauce cool to room temperature.

Step 7

Once ready to serve, top each glass of lemon mousse with a generous drizzle of raspberry sauce. Garnish with additional fresh raspberries or lemon zest, if desired.

Step 8

Serve chilled and enjoy your Lemon Mousse with Raspberry Sauce!
