The ingredients for Ultimate Lemon Mousse are:

2 tbsp water
1 tsp plain gelatin
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup white sugar
1 tbsp concentrated lemon extract
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
6 large egg yolks, beaten
3/4 cup whipping cream

Here is how you make Ultimate Lemon Mousse:

1) Pour the water in a small bowl and sprinkle the gelatin over top. Let stand about 10 minutes to soften. Put the small bowl in a larger bowl of hot water and stir the gelatin until it has completely dissolved (should look like water). Leave to the side.2) Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Mix in sugar, extract and lemon juice.3) Remove the saucepan from the hear and whisk in the yolks until smooth. Place the pan back onto the stove at medium-low heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens (about 10 min). "Thick" is when you can dip a wooden spoon into the mixture and leave a path in it when your finger is drawn across it. DO NOT ALLOW THE MIXTURE TO BOIL.4) Remove the pan from the heat and immediately stir in the dissolved gelatin. Let mixture cool to room temperature, whisking occasionally. If you place the mixture in the fridge to speed up the cooling process make sure that you cover it to prevent a "skin" from forming.5) Beat the cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the cream into the lemon mixture in 3 parts with a whisk and spatula.6) Spoon into serving dishes or stemmed glasses and refrigerate, loosely covered, for at least 2 hours and up to 2 days, until set and thoroughly chilled before serving.Serving Size: Makes 8 servings of about 1/2 cup eachNumber of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user 13KAY13.
