Lemon-Mousse-Recipe

Lemon Mousse

This lemon mousse is a delightful treat with its creamy texture and zesty flavor. Made with mascarpone cheese, fresh lemons, and whipped cream, it’s a simple yet impressive dessert for any occasion.

  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Mascarpone cheese (at room temperature)
  • 1 1/2 cups besti powdered monk fruit allulose blend (to taste)
  • 2 medium Lemons (juiced and zested; ~1/4 cup juice and 2 tbsp zest)
  • 1/8 tsp sea salt
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the mascarpone and powdered Besti for about 1 minute, until smooth and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as you go, as needed.
  2. Add the lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt. Beat again until smooth.
  3. In a separate large bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add the whipped cream to the lemon mixture and gently fold together, until just combined.
  5. Transfer the lemon mousse to small serving cups. If you like, top with more whipped cream and a lemon slice for garnish.

Notes

Ensure the mascarpone is at room temperature for easy mixing.
For a sweeter mousse, adjust the amount of monk fruit blend to taste.
Chill the mousse for a bit before serving for a refreshing treat.
