Ingredients:
– 1 cup heavy whipping cream
– 8 oz cream cheese, softened
– 1/2 cup powdered sugar
– 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
– Zest of 1 lemon
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Pinch of salt
– Fresh berries and mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Directions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with an electric mixer until you achieve soft peaks. Once it’s ready, set it aside.
2. In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it’s all smooth and creamy.
3. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing it in until everything is well combined.
4. Now it’s time to add some zing! Mix in the fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend until you have a smooth mixture.
5. Gently incorporate the whipped cream into the cream cheese blend using a spatula. Make sure to fold carefully so you don’t deflate that lovely whipped cream.
6. Spoon the delightful mousse into your serving dishes or glasses.
7. Cover and let it chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours. This sets the mousse and helps all those flavors meld beautifully.
8. Once it’s chilled, feel free to garnish with fresh berries and mint leaves for that extra pop of color.
9. Serve it up and enjoy every creamy, zesty bite!
