Light, Creamy, and Bursting with Fresh Citrus Flavor!

If you’re looking for a quick and easy dessert that feels fancy but comes together with minimal effort, this Lemon Cheesecake Mousse is your answer. It’s refreshing, airy, and ideal for spring or summer gatherings — or anytime you need a bright dessert to end the day.

Ingredients:

8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
1 tablespoon lemon zest (from 1–2 lemons)
1/4 cup (60 ml) fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream
Optional: crushed graham crackers or cookies for topping

‍ Instructions:

1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Base:

In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy.

2. Add the Lemon:

Mix in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Beat again until fully combined and silky.

3. Whip the Cream:

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. This will give the mousse its airy texture.

4. Fold It All Together:

Gently fold the whipped cream into the lemon cheesecake mixture until fully incorporated. Be careful not to deflate the cream.

5. Chill and Serve:

Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or bowls. Chill for at least 1 hour before serving.

Top with graham cracker crumbs, lemon zest, or even a dollop of whipped cream for extra flair.

Tips for Best Results:

Use fresh lemon juice for the brightest flavor.
Make ahead and chill overnight for an even firmer texture.
Serve in small cups or jars for an elegant presentation.
