Our lemon tree is currently bending with the weight of too many lemons, which means there are many lemon experiments going on in the kitchen. This lemon mousse is so easy to make and quite an impressive dish to serve after dinner.

Lemon mousse ingredients
Ingredients
3 tablespoons caster sugar
1 tablespoon potato starch
2 lemons
2 eggs - separated
30 grams unsalted butter
1/2 cup filtered water
Method
Bring the filtered water to the boil and add two tablespoons of caster sugar.
When the caster sugar has dissolved completely, reduce the heat and add 1 tablespoon of potato starch. Stir well and do not boil.

Whisk the egg whites well
Grate the lemon rind and juice the lemons.
Add the egg yolks, lemon rind and lemon juice to the sugar syrup. Simmer gently.
Fold in the unsalted butter and allow the mixture to cool.

Add the egg white to the lemon mixture
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until they become foamy.
Gradually add one tablespoon of caster sugar to the egg whites and beat on high speed.
Add the egg whites to the cooled sugar and lemon mixture.
Mix together and spoon into individual dessert bowls or ramekins.
Refrigerate for 2 hours, before serving with cream or ice cream. Or maybe spoon the mousse into pastry cases to make lemon mousse tartlets. Enjoy.
