- Ready In:
- 2hrs 5mins
- Ingredients:
- 8
- Serves:
-
6
ingredients
- 1 teaspoon gelatin
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 cup sugar (could be less sugar in the meringue cause for us it was too sweet)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 3 eggs
- 1⁄2 cup lemon juice
- 1⁄4 cup unsalted butter, diced
- 2 egg whites
directions
- In a little bowl, sprinkle gelatin on the water and let rest 5 minutes. Set aside.
- In a saucepan, out of the heat, mix 1/2 cup sugar and cornstarch. Incorporate the 3 eggs, lemon juice and butter with a whisk. Bring to boil stirring constantly. Add gelatin and stir until it's dissolved. Pour in a large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap directly on the cream and put in fridge until temperate and still malleable, about 30 minutes.
- In a clean bowl, whisk egg whites with electric mixer until soft peaks. Add gradually the 1/2 cup sugar whisking until hard peaks. With a spatula, incorporate the meringue to the lemon cream.
- Distribute in 6 ramequins. Cover and refrigerate about 2 hours.

Loved everything about this mousse, but then we both have a sweet tooth AND we both enjoy a good taste of lemon! I'll be making this again, for sure, & at least one time I might just use a sprinkle of dried fruit granola as a topping, to see how that works out! Your recipe is definitely worth keeping around!

Wow does this have pucker power! It does taste really good, and we did reduce the sugar in the meringue (good suggestion on that one) to just 1/4 cup. We adore lemons but the lemon flavor here is very strong. We felt some whipped topping would go nicely and help tone down the lemon flavor some. This could also be used to fill a pie, then top with cool whip. Overall a nice recipe. Thanks for sharing.
