Lemon Mousse Recipe
You will need:

  • Zest of two lemons, shredded very finely
  • 240 grams caster sugar 
  • 140 grams pasteurised egg 
  • 15 grams gelatine (leaf if possible) 
  • Juice of two lemons 
  • 300ml whipping cream 
  • 15 grams chopped pistachios or green rubbed almonds 
How To Make Lemon Mousse 
  1. Boil the shredded lemon zest in a little water and 15 grams of sugar until soft. Allow to cool. 
  2. Whisk the pasteurised eggs with the rest of the sugar until thick and white. Melt the gelatine in the lemon juice over heat. 
  3. Beat the cream until thick, but not to piping consistency. Pour the melted gelatine into the egg mixture and combine, then fold in approximately half of the whipped cream. 
  4. Carefully pour this mixture into four glasses, keeping the edges clean. 
  5. Beat the remaining cream until stiff and pipe a bulb on the top of each mousse. When set, decorate with the lemon zest and pistachio nuts.
