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
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, pour the heavy whipping cream.
Step 2
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the heavy cream on medium speed until it begins to thicken, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Gradually add the powdered sugar in batches while continuing to whip the cream on medium-high speed.
Step 4
Once the cream has soft peaks, lower the mixer speed and slowly drizzle in the freshly squeezed lemon juice.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Taste the mousse and adjust with a little extra powdered sugar or lemon juice if needed, based on your sweetness or tartness preference.
Step 7
Spoon or pipe the lemon mousse into individual serving glasses or bowls.
Step 8
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the mousse to set and chill before serving.
Step 9
Garnish with extra lemon zest, whipped cream, or fresh berries, if desired, and enjoy!
