Lemon mousse: easy recipe

       I learned to make culinary foams from a young age from my mother «Nacéra ».

In cooking, "mousse" is a dessert made from egg white or whipped cream, such as chocolate mousse, orange mousse, Jawzia mousse, etc.

For the most part, the most refreshing is the lemon mousse, which, personally, I freeze it before consuming it, and that gives me a “Créponné” or “crepone”; the latter is a lemon sorbet: one of the specialties of the Algerian culinary tradition, which is particularly appreciated for its thirst-quenching qualities. And according to Wikipedia , Créponné “  … would have been invented by Gilbert Soriano, one of Joseph Soriano's sons, then owner of the famous creamery and confectionery  L'Oranaise , located rue du Vieux-Château, in Oran before spreading in all of Algeria   ”.

the recipe is detailed as follows:

Recipe: 

§  Ingredients : for 6 ramekins (or verrines)

·     2 juicy lemons;

·     3 eggs ;

·     100g of sugar;

·     1 glass of water;

·     1 tablespoon of cornstarch (or flour);

·     1 tablespoon of butter (or margarine), or a serving of cheese spread.

§  Preparation:

1.       In a saucepan, put the zest of one lemon with the juice of both;

2.       Add 3 egg yolks: reserve the “whites” in a bowl-salad bowl;

3.   Add - to the pan - the sugar, cornstarch (or flour) and water: whisk well, and then put the pan over medium heat;

4.       Do not stop whipping until the cream is thick; therefore turn off the heat and add the butter or the cheese: mix gently, then let cool or cool.

5.     Beat the 3 egg whites into (reserved in the bowl-salad bowl) snow  ;

6.    Incorporate these, in 3 times and delicately, in the cream - in the pan -: coat to have the Mousse, which you pour into ramekins or verrines;

7.       Decorate to your taste, for this time, I embellished my mousse with orange zest, lemon zest in the center and mint, to have different colors.  

Thus, we have a delicious dessert, among those that their tasting gives us enormous pleasure… and Enjoy your meal.
