It is not surprising that I am sharing another recipe with lemon as I love lemon desserts.   I’ve talked about my love to lemon curd before.   I like its tangy flavor and smooth texture.  It is very easy to make a lemon mousse with lemon curd.  

You should make my homemade lemon curd which takes only 10 minutes to make and fold it into whipped cream.   And you have your mousse ready.   It’s that easy.

You’ll need

  • Homemade Lemon Curd
  • Whipped Cream
  • Crunchy Vanilla Cookies
  • Candied Lemon Slices, optional

to make this delicious and easy lemon curd mousse recipe.

I want to present my lemon curd with candied lemon slices which are optional.  It gives a nice touch to this dessert.    As I like crunchy and soft texture together, I use my Easy Slice-and-Bake Vanilla Shortbread Cookie recipe.  

You don’t need to make these cookies as slice-and-bake for this recipe.  Just make the dough, flatten them and put them into the oven.  Crunchy cookies and soft lemon curd mousse make a nice combination.

Steps of Making Lemon Curd Mousse:

First I make my lemon curd and let it cool.  While it is cooling, I make my vanilla cookies.  When my vanilla cookies are ready,  I take my homemade lemon curd from the fridge.   I whip the heavy cream with a mixer until it holds soft peaks.  My niece makes the rest with her little hands. 🙂

She folds lemon curd into heavy cream in 3-4 batches.

We put 6 vanilla cookies in a plastic zip-lock bag and my niece crushes the cookies with a rolling pin to make small pieces.

Then she puts 2 tablespoons of crushed cookies into each cup.  Later she adds almost 4 tablespoons of lemon curd mousse on top of the crushed cookies.  She adds crushed cookies again and puts almost 2,5 tablespoons of lemon curd mousse.

We put the candied lemon slices on top.  My niece wants to add some more crushed cookies.  So we add them on top and enjoy our delicious lemon mousse when cold enough!

    How long can this be refrigerated before serving without the cookies becoming soft? Would like to make it a day before serving. Thank you!
