Ingredients
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 0.5 cup Sweetened condensed milk
- 0.25 cup Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 as needed Optional garnish: fresh mint leaves or lemon slices
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to beat the heavy whipping cream on medium speed until it starts to thicken slightly, about 2 minutes.
Step 2
Add the powdered sugar to the whipped cream and continue to beat until stiff peaks form, taking care not to overmix. This should take another 1 to 2 minutes.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, gently whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest until fully combined and smooth.
Step 4
Using a spatula, carefully fold the lemon mixture into the whipped cream. Be gentle to maintain the light and airy texture.
Step 5
Once combined, spoon the mousse evenly into small serving glasses or bowls. Smooth out the tops with the back of a spoon for a polished look.
Step 6
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to chill and set properly before serving.
Step 7
Optionally, garnish with fresh mint leaves or thin lemon slices right before serving for an elegant touch.
