Light Lemon Mousse image

This recipe comes from the Fall 2006 issue of Cooking for 2. It is very light and makes a quick weeknight dessert for 2. The recipe is credited to Joan Jay of Frisco, TX. I use Splenda when making this and it works great.

This mousse is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my mousse turned out grainy. I think I might have overbeaten the cream.

I had some trouble getting the mousse to set properly, but after a few tries, I finally got it right. It was worth the effort, though, because the mousse was delicious!
