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

Directions:

  • Whip egg whites until fluffed with medium peaks, transfer into a bowl

  • 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

  • Whip yolks and lemon sugar until ribbon stage. The mixture should be pale yellow, almost white in color. Ribbon Stage means that when you lift the whisk over the mixture the batter should fall slowly forming a ribbon that will hold it's shape for a few minutes.

  • Slowly add the lemon juice mixture to the egg yolks - note: the mix will be very loose and liquidy

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

  • Allow mixture to chill until fluffy but not stiff

  • Slowly fold in the whites into the yolk mixture, then fold in the whipped cream

  • Immediately pipe into the glasses

  • Garnish with flowers, fruits, or any other toppings you think would go well

Keep chilled or serve immediately.
