Lemon Mousse

Strawberry Consommé

Method

Lemon Mousse

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lemon Mousse

    In a mixing bowl, combine lemon juice, lemon zest, and sugar. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved.

  2. 2

    Beat Egg Whites

    In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the lemon mixture.

  3. 3

    Whip Cream

    In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the lemon and egg white mixture until combined.

  4. 4

    Chill

    Transfer the mousse to serving glasses and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set.

Strawberry Consommé

  1. 5

    Prepare the Strawberries

    In a blender, combine the strawberries and sugar. Blend until smooth.

  2. 6

    Strain the Mixture

    Pass the blended mixture through a fine sieve to separate the juice from the pulp.

  3. 7

    Cook the Consommé

    In a saucepan, combine the strawberry juice and water. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for about 10 minutes. Add basil leaves during the last 2 minutes of cooking.

  4. 8

    Cool and Serve

    Remove from heat and let cool. Serve the consommé chilled alongside the lemon mousse.
