Extra tips
Always use organic untreated lemons: the zest is essential for fragrance.
If you want a lighter mousse, replace the cream with Greek yogurt or ricotta.
For an elegant dessert, serve the mousse in individual cups decorated with fresh fruit.
Additionally, you can use the mousse as a filling cream for cakes and pies: it will be irresistible.
Lastly, remember that lemon mousse is even better if left to rest in the fridge for a few hours: the flavors meld better.

LEMON MOUSSE fresh and creamy recipes
Can I prepare lemon mousse in advance?
Yes, absolutely! In fact, it’s better: the mousse sets in the fridge and becomes even tastier. You can prepare it in the morning for the evening or even the day before.
Can it be frozen?
Absolutely yes! Especially those with egg white and lemon paste you’ll find in the collection, for others, freezing will result in a texture similar to semifreddo. So, I recommend taking it out of the freezer at least 10-15 minutes before serving.
What’s the quickest version of lemon mousse?
Without a doubt, the one with cream or mascarpone: in just 5 minutes, you have a fresh and delicious spoon dessert, ready at the last minute.
Are there versions without cream or eggs?
Yes! You can use ricotta or yogurt for a lighter version. This way, you’ll still get a creamy mousse, but more delicate and suitable for those with intolerances.
What can I pair lemon mousse with?
Lemon goes great with coconut, strawberries, and blueberries. Moreover, you can make it more delicious with white chocolate chips, meringues, or crumbled cookies.
