Ingredients:
1 tablespoon freshly grated lemon zest
2 teaspoons lemon zest
7 large eggs, separated
1/2 cup homemade lemon curd
1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 1/8 cups granulated sugar
1/3 cup powdered sugar
A pinch of salt
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 stick unsalted butter
2 cups double cream
Instructions:
In a large heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, lemon zest, lemon curd, lemon juice, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt.
Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thick and creamy, about 10 minutes.
In a separate bowl, beat the butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and beat until well combined.
Fold the butter mixture into the cooled lemon mixture.
In a large bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold the egg whites into the lemon mixture.
In a separate bowl, whip the double cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the lemon mixture.
Pour the mousse into a serving dish or individual glasses and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
Serve chilled and garnish with additional lemon zest, if desired.
