The single-serving lemon dessert is the perfect spoon dessert to end a meal lightly, but without sacrificing taste, it is prepared in no time with a delicate base of whipped cream or lighter yogurt.
Perfect for dinners with friends, buffets or even as a Sunday dessert, the single-serving lemon dessert can be prepared in different ways: from the classic light mousse with yogurt and lemon, or with layers of crumbled cookies, or with lemon curd and chantilly cream.
A well-executed lemon spoon dessert must have a creamy but light texture, and must also be visually appealing. Adding grated lemon zest, a garnish of fresh fruit or mint leaves, or using transparent cups to show the dessert layers, are small details that make a difference.

FAQ (Questions and Answers) Single-serving LEMON DESSERT
What is the best type of lemon for a spoon dessert?

Can the single-serving lemon dessert be prepared in advance?
Yes, most lemon spoon desserts can be made the day before and stored in the refrigerator, indeed, resting enhances the flavors and texture.
Can I make a lactose-free version?
Absolutely yes. You can substitute cream and milk with plant-based alternatives such as almond, coconut, or soy milk. Lemon-flavored plant-based yogurt is also a great base for fresh mousses.
Is it possible to freeze single-serving lemon desserts?
It depends on the recipe. Mousses and semifreddos can be frozen, but panna cottas or puddings with gelatins might undergo consistency changes. It’s best to test them in small quantities.
How to elegantly decorate a lemon spoon dessert?
You can use thin slices of candied lemon, small meringues, mint leaves, red fruits, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar. Grated zest is also perfect for a final fragrant touch.
