I wanted to learn to make a quick easy dessert that can be prepared in advance of dinner. I am also going through a lemon phase as I love the tang so that is how I came to this...
Light lemon Mousse
Serves 2
Ingredients
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
3/4 cup fat-free milk
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup reduced-fat whipped topping
Method
1. In a small saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch; gradually stir in milk until smooth. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened and bubbly.
2. Remove from the heat. Stir in the lemon juice, peel and vanilla.
3. Cool quickly by placing pan in a bowl of ice water; stir for 2 minutes.
4. Fold in whipped topping. Spoon into dessert dishes.
5. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
Note: I did not do the bowl of ice water, I just removed the pot from the heat. And I just used whipped cream which worked out perfectly!
