History

 

Lemon mousse has its origins in French cuisine, where “mousse” literally means “foam” in French. Traditional mousses were made with sugar, cream, and sometimes eggs, whipped to create an airy texture. Over time, health-conscious adaptations emerged, replacing sugar with natural sweeteners and reducing fat, creating a modern, sugar-free version that retains the airy, creamy magic of classic French mousse.

Formation / Concept

 

The beauty of lemon mousse lies in its airy structure. The egg whites are whipped into a meringue, creating tiny air pockets. Meanwhile, the cream adds richness and smoothness. When combined with tangy lemon juice and zest, the result is a light, fluffy dessert that melts in your mouth while delivering a punch of bright citrus flavor.

Methods / Instructions

 

Step 1: Prepare Ingredients

 

1. Separate the egg whites from yolks (reserve yolks if desired for another recipe).

 

 

2. Zest the lemons and juice them carefully. Make sure no seeds get into the juice.

 

 

3. Chill the mixing bowl and beaters for the cream for a fluffier texture.

 

 

 

Step 2: Make Lemon Cream Base

 

1. In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream with vanilla extract until soft peaks form.

 

 

2. Fold in the lemon zest and lemon juice gently.

 

 

 

Step 3: Whip the Egg Whites

 

1. In a clean, dry bowl, whisk egg whites with a pinch of salt until foamy.

 

 

2. Gradually add the erythritol while continuing to whip until stiff peaks form.

 

 

 

Step 4: Combine Mousse

 

1. Gently fold one-third of the whipped egg whites into the lemon cream to lighten it.

 

 

2. Carefully fold in the remaining egg whites until fully incorporated. Avoid deflating the mixture.

 

 

 

Step 5: Chill & Set

 

1. Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or bowls.

 

 

2. Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours or until set.
