Lemon Mousse - Makes 3 glasses

Ingredients:

• 3 gelatin sheets, bloomed

• 3 egg whites

• 3 egg whites

• ⅔ cup heavy cream

• 2 lemons, for juice and zesting

• ½ cup sugar

• Whip heavy cream into to soft peaks, transfer into another bowl

• Mix together sugar and lemon zest

• Heat up the lemon juice, melt the bloomed gelatin

• Place the bowl in an ice bath and stir frequently.
