Categories     dessert

Time 1h27m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 extra-large whole eggs
3 extra-large eggs, separated
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (4 lemons)
Kosher salt
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup good bottled lemon curd, at room temperature
Sweetened Whipped Cream, recipe follows
Sliced lemon, for garnish
1 cup cold heavy cream
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • In a large heat-proof bowl, whisk together the 3 whole eggs, 3 egg yolks, 1 cup sugar, the lemon zest, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Place the bowl over a pan of simmering water and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, for about 10 to 12 minutes until the mixture is thick like pudding. (I change to a whisk when the mixture starts to get thick.) Take off the heat and set aside for 15 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours, until completely chilled.
  • Place half the egg whites and a pinch of salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on high speed. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and continue to beat until the whites are stiff and shiny. Carefully fold the beaten whites into the cold lemon mixture with a rubber spatula. Place the cream in the same bowl of the electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (no need to clean the bowl) and beat on high speed until the cream forms stiff peaks. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the lemon mixture. Fold in the lemon curd, and pour into a 7-inch-diameter, 3-inch-deep souffle dish. Decorate with sweetened whipped cream and lemon slices that have been cut into quarters. Chill and serve cold.
  • Place the cream, sugar, and vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whip on medium and then high speed until the cream just forms still peaks. Spoon the whipped cream into a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip.

Make these smart, simple desserts ahead of time for a relaxed Friday night supper with friends

Provided by Sarah Cook

Categories     Dessert, Dinner

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 4

300g or 312g jar good-quality lemon curd (we used Tiptree)
zest 1 lemon
300ml pot whipping or double cream
25g lemon shortbread or crunchy lemon flavoured biscuits, plus extra to serve, if you like

Steps:

  • Put two-thirds of the lemon curd into a large bowl with the zest and cream, then beat with an electric whisk until it just holds its shape. Dribble over the rest of the lemon curd and divide between 6 small glass pots or glasses, marbling the curd through as you go. Sit the pots on a small tray, cover the whole lot with cling film and freeze for 30-40 minutes.
  • Put the biscuits in a strong plastic bag and bash with the end of a rolling pin to crumbs. When you're ready for pudding, remove the pots from the freezer (they should be ice cold but still soft and creamy), top with crumbs and serve.

QUICK AND SIMPLE NO BAKE LEMON MOUSSE



Quick and Simple No Bake Lemon Mousse image

This was my mother's recipe. It's a perfect light and refreshing dessert with a lemony zing. Mom made it just the way it is for weeknight dinners, but I like to dress it up with raspberry sauce (frozen raspberries in syrup, pureed and strained) and some fresh raspberries. Looks great in parfait glasses or a glass or crystal bowl for a dinner party. Preparation time includes 5 hour chilling time.

Categories     Dessert

Time 5h30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 lemons
4 eggs (use pasteurized eggs, as the whites are not cooked in this recipe)
1/2 cup water
1 1/8 cups sugar
1 (1/4 ounce) envelope unflavored gelatin

Steps:

  • Start with eggs at room temperature.
  • Separate eggs, breaking yolks into the bowl of a nonreactive (i.e. stainless steel or ceramic) double boiler.
  • Add sugar to the yolks and beat with an electric or immersion mixer until thick and pale.
  • Grate the rind from one or both lemons and juice them both. Strain the juice.
  • Add the rind and the 1/2 c, water to the sugar/yolk mix. More rind means more lemony flavor; I use it all but you may prefer less.
  • Place the bowl over simmering water and cook, stirring very often, until the foam has mostly disappeared and the mix is thickened to a thin syrup. This takes a while and the foam disappearing is your best clue that it's done. Remove from heat.
  • Mix the gelatin with 11/2 T. cold water and immediately add it to the mix, stirring until the gelatin completely dissolves. Set aside to cool.
  • Meanwhile, beat the egg whites to soft peaks in an electric mixer. Before you start make sure the bowl and whisk are perfectly clean as egg whites will not stiffen well if they touch even a trace of grease.
  • Fold whites carefully into the sugar/yolk/gelatin mix. It can be hard to get all of the yolk mix folded in, so I flip the ingredients into another bowl so I can see and incorporate any remaining liquid.
  • Place into the serving bowl or bowls of your choice. Refrigerate 5 hours or until serving time.

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemons. Fresh lemons provide the best flavor for lemon mousse. If you can, use organic lemons to avoid any pesticides or chemicals.
  • Grate the lemon zest finely. This will help to release the lemon's flavor and aroma into the mousse.
  • Whip the cream until stiff peaks form. This will help to create a light and fluffy mousse.
  • Fold the whipped cream into the lemon mixture gently. This will help to prevent the mousse from deflating.
  • Chill the mousse for at least 2 hours before serving. This will help to set the mousse and allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Serve the mousse with fresh berries or a dollop of whipped cream. This will add a touch of sweetness and color to the mousse.

Conclusion:

Lemon mousse is a light, refreshing, and delicious dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make a perfect lemon mousse that will impress your friends and family.
