Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup whipping cream
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup lemon curd or prepared lemon pie filling
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • Fresh berries for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Whip the Cream: In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer to whip 1 cup of whipping cream until stiff peaks form, creating a light and fluffy base for the mousse.
  2. Beat Cream Cheese and Lemon Curd: In a separate bowl of a stand mixer, beat 8 ounces of softened cream cheese and 1 cup of lemon curd or lemon pie filling until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
  3. Add Flavor and Sweetness: Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1/2 cup powdered sugar into the cream cheese mixture, mixing thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  4. Fold in the Whipped Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated to maintain the mousse’s light texture.
  5. Chill and Serve: Spoon or pipe the mousse into serving dishes and refrigerate until ready to serve. Garnish with fresh berries for an extra pop of color and flavor, if desired.

Notes

  • For best results, use cold whipping cream to achieve stiff peaks effectively.
  • You can substitute lemon curd with your favorite lemon pie filling if lemon curd is unavailable.
  • For added texture, consider topping with crushed graham crackers or nuts along with fresh berries.
  • This mousse is best served chilled and consumed within 2 days for optimal freshness.
  • Make sure to soften the cream cheese before mixing to avoid lumps in the mousse.
