Ingredients
- 200 g mascarpone
- 150 ml crème entière
- 120 g sucre glace
- 2 citrons bio
- 2 blancs d’œufs
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and chill your mixing bowls and whisks in the refrigerator for 15 minutes for best results.
- Pour the crème entière into the chilled bowl and whip at medium speed until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
- In a separate large bowl, mix the mascarpone and sucre glace until smooth and creamy using a spatula.
- Gently fold in the juice and zest of the two citrons until incorporated.
- Take a third of the whipped cream and fold it into the mascarpone mixture to lighten it. Then, carefully fold in the remaining whipped cream using a spatula, maintaining airiness.
- Spoon the mousse into four small glasses, smoothing the top if desired.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the mousse to set.
- Before serving, ensure the mousse is firm, and garnish with extra lemon zest or lemon slices if desired.
