This smooth and refreshing dessert is popular at summer cookouts, but it makes a delicious light finish to hearty winter meals, too. For a pretty presentation, I serve it in individual glass dishes garnished with fresh sliced strawberries. -Joan Jay, Frisco, Texas

I made this mousse for a special occasion and it was a total disaster! It didn't set properly and it was way too tart. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I won't be making this recipe again.

This mousse is a bit too tart for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if there was a little more sugar added. Otherwise, it's a very good recipe.

I followed the recipe exactly and my mousse turned out perfectly! It's so light and fluffy, and the lemon flavor is just right. I served it with fresh berries and it was a huge hit.

I'm not a fan of lemon desserts, but this mousse was surprisingly good! It's very light and airy, and the lemon flavor is very subtle. I could definitely see myself eating this again.
