Creamy lemonade mousse is a delightful and refreshing dessert that combines the tangy flavor of lemons with the creamy texture of mousse. This easy-to-make treat is perfect for any occasion and will impress your friends and family with its light and airy consistency.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Make sure your heavy whipping cream is chilled.
- Zest the lemons to collect 2 tablespoons of zest.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the 3 cups of condensed milk and 2 tablespoons of lemon zest.
- Stir the mixture until the zest is evenly distributed throughout the condensed milk.
- In a separate, chilled mixing bowl, pour in the 1 cup of heavy whipping cream.
- Using an electric mixer, beat the cream on medium-high speed until it forms stiff peaks. This means when you lift the beaters out of the cream, the peaks should stand firm without collapsing.
- Fold the whipped cream gently into the condensed milk and lemon zest mixture.
- Use a spatula to blend them together, taking care not to deflate the whipped cream. The mixture should be smooth and homogeneous.
- Spoon the creamy lemonade mousse into serving dishes or a large serving bowl.
- Cover the dishes with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the mousse is set and well-chilled.
- Once fully chilled, remove from the refrigerator.
- Optionally, garnish with additional lemon zest, mint leaves, or a thin slice of lemon.
- Serve your creamy lemonade mousse as a refreshing dessert, perfect for a sunny day or any special occasion.
Tips:
- For an extra citrusy kick, consider adding a little fresh lemon juice along with the zest.
- Chill the heavy whipping cream in the refrigerator before whipping to ensure it reaches the right consistency.
- Use a fine grater or microplane for the lemon zest to avoid any bitter pith.
- You can garnish the mousse with a bit of extra lemon zest or a thin lemon slice for an appealing presentation.
- To make the mousse extra fluffy, gently fold the whipped cream into the condensed milk mixture without overmixing.
Enjoy your creamy lemonade mousse chilled, and savor the perfect balance of sweetness and tanginess. This simple recipe is sure to become a favorite for its delightful flavor and ease of preparation.
