Easy Lemon Mousse

Hello friends!

Is it just me or are you over winter?  Over it.  It’s officially the doldrums of winter.  But I’m trying not to think about it and carry on…spring will be here soon enough.  And I have to admit, I am feeling refreshed and inspired after a beautiful and relaxing spa weekend with friends.  I’m still smelling tropical flowers and dreaming of massages…I could get used to that life!  😉  I can’t wait to tell you all about it, but that’s for another day.  So for now, I will power on through our very wintery winter. 

And I will start putting lemons in ALL the things.  It’s that time of year where I start craving lemons.  Every single year.  There is something so summery and refreshing and inspiring about lemons don’t you think?  Lemon loaves, lemon tarts, lemonade, even lemons at dinner!  Lemons all the time.

They’re like little balls of sunshine.  And they taste like that too.  So when the lemon urge struck once again, I made an Easy Lemon Mousse.

This dessert is so simple to make.  And I bet it would be good with any kind of citrus fruit…oranges or grapefruits or limes.  Hmmm I just might have to try a different combo!

  1. I am tired of this winter weather as well!
    Where did you get the little glass jars your lemon mousse is in?
    Stay warm!

  2. I’m salivating just looking at these! Seems nice and simple, dangerous territory where cream is concerned – I’m too easily tempted!

  3. Hello, They look amazing, can I substitute Milk or even soy milk for the whipping cream. I’m allergic to cream.

  4. I made this recipe last night, minus throwing any berries into it. In fact, I just finished eating the mousse now.

    It was mmm mmm good!
