3-Ingredient Lemon Mousse
This 3-Ingredient Lemon Mousse is a light and fluffy dessert made with fresh lemon juice, heavy whipping cream, and granulated sugar. It offers a refreshing burst of citrus flavor, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, pour in the heavy whipping cream.
- Using an electric mixer, whip the cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the granulated sugar and continue to whip until stiff peaks form, another minute or so.
- Gently fold in the fresh lemon juice, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
- Transfer the mousse into individual serving dishes or a large bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
- Before serving, garnish with lemon zest or a sprig of mint if desired.
Notes
Use very cold heavy whipping cream for best results. Fresh lemons provide the best flavor. Patiently whip the cream to the right texture for a light mousse. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
