Ingredients

Servings
  • 7 ounces mascarpone cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream whole, whipping or heavy cream, cold
  • 2-3 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1-2 tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl whip the cream until stiff. ( set aside 1/2 cup of whipped cream for the topping).
  2. In a medium bowl, beat the mascarpone, sugar, juice and zest until creamy. Fold the mascarpone mixture into the whipped cream until combined.
  3. Spoon the mousse into 4 cups or glasses and chill for 1 hour. Top with a dollop of whipped cream, sprinkle with chopped white chocolate or lemon zest before serving if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

  • This is a great make ahead dessert as it will stay good for 2-4 days when stored properly. To store, cover each bowl or glass tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve. 
  • Add any additional garnish right before serving and if you are serving a crowd you may want to double or triple the recipe based on the number of guests.
