A light, airy lemon mousse layered with tangy lemon curd, delivering a perfectly balanced dessert that is creamy, refreshing, and full of bright citrus flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup lemon curd

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add granulated sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined and smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
  4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the lemon cream cheese mixture, taking care not to deflate the mousse.
  5. Spoon the mousse evenly into serving glasses or bowls.
  6. Top each serving with a generous layer of lemon curd.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the mousse to set.

Notes

  • Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor.
  • Add lemon curd just before serving for the best presentation.
  • Do not overmix when folding the whipped cream to keep the mousse light.
  • Optional toppings include fresh berries or crushed cookies.
