I propose to cook an amazingly delicious, very tender, and incredibly beautiful lemon mousse with whipped cream. Bright lemon sourness and softness of whipped cream – the perfect combination!

Instructions

1. Pour gelatin 2 tbsp of water at room temperature and set aside to swell.
2. Wash the lemons thoroughly and remove the zest with a fine grater. It will take 3 tbsp of zest.

Bon Appetit!
