I have a light and lemony Mousse recipe to share today, that when piped into a beautiful parfait glass, swirled with homemade whipped cream, and topped with an edible pansy, becomes a gorgeous teatime treat! It's one of my favorite teatime desserts, and is a perfect addition to any Spring or Summer Tea Party. It requires a few more steps than my Lemon Creams, but it's so worth it!! I made these for a tea party of about 150 ladies, and got rave reviews! I found the recipe in Southern Living Magazine, which described this dessert as "Tangy, cold and bursting with flavor, this delightful dessert is definitely a winner." I agree!! I piped my mixture into some small glasses that I bought at an antique shop. Small glasses for a tea party are best because you don't want to fill up on just one dessert when you'll also be having other lovely things such as scones, cakes and sandwiches! I had these beautiful pansies growing in the garden and used them to adorn my desserts! Love the color!! If you don't have any edible flowers blooming, you could decorate your parfaits with a sprig of mint and/or some lemon zest curls. DEERHILL'S LEMON MOUSSE Recipe courtesy Chef Michael Anelli, Deerhill Inn, West Dover, Vermont 1/2 cup water 1/2 tablespoon unflavored gelatin 3 large eggs, separated 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice zest of one lemon 1 cup heavy cream 1 cup sugar Dissolve gelatin and 1/2 cup of the sugar in the water in a stainless steel bowl. Whisk in egg yolks. Place in a double boiler and heat to 175 degrees, whisking instantly until thickened. Remove from heat and add lemon juice and zest. Refrigerate or place over a large bowl of ice until mixture begins to gel. Meanwhile, beat egg whites with the other 1/2 cup sugar until soft peaks form. Fold into gelling egg- lemon mixture. Whip heavy cream to soft peaks and fold into mixture. Spoon (or pipe) into parfait or champagne glasses, and chill thoroughly. Garnish with whipped cream and an edible flower if desired. *Serves 6. (or more, depending on the size of glass.) This lemon mousse is just delicious! Hope you give it a try! Here's a spoon for you, and one for me! Thanks for joining me today!!
