Luscious Lemon Cheesecake Mousse πŸ‹βœ¨

Light, creamy, and bursting with citrusy goodness, this Lemon Cheesecake Mousse is the perfect refreshing dessert! A dreamy combination of tangy lemon and rich cheesecake, this no-bake treat is irresistibly smooth and easy to make.


Ingredients:

  • 1 cup heavy cream (for that airy, luscious texture)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened (for a rich and creamy base)
  • Β½ cup powdered sugar (adds the perfect touch of sweetness)
  • ΒΌ cup fresh lemon juice (for a bright, zesty kick)
  • Zest of 1 lemon (enhancing the citrus flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for a hint of warmth and depth)
  • Optional: Lemon slices and fresh mint leaves for a beautiful garnish

Instructions:

πŸ‹ 1. Whip Up the Cream Cheese Base
Using an electric mixer, beat the softened cream cheese until velvety smooth (about 2-3 minutes). This step ensures your mousse will have that melt-in-your-mouth texture.

πŸ‹ 2. Sweeten & Flavor
Gradually mix in the powdered sugar, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Keep mixing until everything is perfectly blended into a silky, fragrant mixture.

πŸ‹ 3. Whip the Cream to Perfection
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. This step is key to achieving a light, airy mousse that practically dissolves on your tongue!

πŸ‹ 4. Gently Fold for Ultimate Creaminess
Using a spatula, gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Be careful not to overmixβ€”fold just until combined to keep the mousse fluffy and light.

πŸ‹ 5. Chill for a Perfect Set
Spoon the mousse into elegant serving glasses or bowls, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to set beautifully.

πŸ‹ 6. Garnish & Serve with Style
Before serving, add a slice of lemon and a sprig of fresh mint for a touch of elegance. Serve chilled and enjoy every creamy, citrusy bite!
