Lemon mousse





Ingredients:
Heavy cream - 1 cup
eggs - 1
lemon - 1(big or 2 small)
sugar - 2 tbspn
gelatine - 1/4 tspn


Procedure:
Add sugar and cream and beat till soft peaks form. You can used whisked cream instead.
Separate the egg whites into a bowl and beat till peaks form.
take small quantity of warm water . add the gelatine to it and melt it ( as per directions on your packet)
squeeze the lemon.
add the lemon zest to the whipped cream. fold in the egg whites and gelatine to it.
better taste the lemon as some lemons tend to be more sour than the other choose the lemony flavor you like.
after mixing it well pour them into bowls/cups and keep in fridge for an hour .


Tip::
Whipping cream::
Whipping cream is the step ive done wrong many times while preparing mousse. If you get whipped cream ready and want to use that then you have nothing to worry.
Make sure you dont whip the cream too much expecting heavy peaks. be patient while whipping the cream and just see if soft peaks are forming . if whipped more the cream curdles and it becomes a waste and cannot be used for mousse.Once the consistency is changing be extra careful not to curdle it.
