This Creamy Lemon Mousse is light, airy, and bursting with citrusy freshness! With just 4 simple ingredients, this no-bake dessert is quick to make and perfect for any occasion—from summer gatherings to elegant dinner parties.
Ingredients
1 cup heavy whipping cream (cold) (for a rich, fluffy texture!)
½ cup sweetened condensed milk (adds the perfect touch of creaminess & sweetness!)
¼ cup fresh lemon juice (for a bright citrus kick!)
Lemon zest (for garnish) (adds extra freshness & color!)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Whip the Heavy Cream
- In a large mixing bowl, beat cold heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form (about 2–3 minutes).
Add the Sweetened Condensed Milk
- Slowly pour in the sweetened condensed milk, continuing to whip until thick and creamy.
Fold in the Fresh Lemon Juice
- Gently fold in the fresh lemon juice, mixing just until incorporated. (The acidity will slightly thicken the mousse!)
Chill & Serve
- Spoon the mousse into small serving glasses or ramekins.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight for best texture!).
