Who says amazing desserts need a long ingredient list? This lemon mousse recipe proves that less is definitely more! With just three simple ingredients, you can whip up a light, refreshing, and incredibly creamy dessert in no time. Perfect for impressing guests or treating yourself on a lazy afternoon.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
Instructions:
- Chill your bowl: Place a large metal bowl in the freezer for about 15 minutes to get it super cold. This will help your whipping cream whip up to a stiffer peak.
- Whip the cream: Remove the bowl from the freezer and pour in the cold heavy whipping cream. Using an electric mixer, whip the cream on high speed until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overbeat, or it will turn into butter.
- Combine ingredients: Gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk until just combined. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
- Add lemon juice: Gradually add the lemon juice, folding it in until evenly distributed. The mixture will thicken slightly.
- Serve immediately or chill: The mousse is delicious served immediately, but for a firmer texture, chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Tips:
- For a more intense lemon flavor, use freshly squeezed lemon juice.
- Garnish with fresh lemon zest or a sprig of mint for a beautiful presentation.
- If you prefer a sweeter mousse, increase the amount of sweetened condensed milk to taste.
Enjoy this incredibly easy and delicious lemon mousse! It’s the perfect light and refreshing dessert for any occasion.
