Whipping creamCondensed milkLemon juice (duh!)Gelatin (for that extra oomph, but it is skippable)
How to Serve This Easy Lemon Mousse
We used to serve lemon velvet in a square or rectangular dish, layered with salty buttery Tuc biscuits. These days I either serve it in one big dish with gingersnap crumbs or in glasses layered with gingersnap crumbs and fruit. You can also layer it with just fruit, spread over meringue, use it as a tart filling - the possibilities are endless. (between you and me, it’s yummiest licked of the spatula … shhhh)
Is this a traditional Mousse?
Short answer: No. This Easy Lemon Mousse is an eggless mousse so it doesn’t get it’s texture from a meringue (egg whites + sugar) or richness from the yolk. Instead the powdered gelatin stabilizes the cream for that luscious mousse texture and the condensed milk gives it a wonderful richness.
What Other EASY Desserts Can I Make Ahead?
