For an extra smooth mousse, ensure your cream cheese is fully softened before beating. Using a high-quality lemon curd will significantly enhance the flavor of the mousse. Consider making your own for the best results! Chilling the bowl and beaters before whipping the cream helps it whip up faster and hold its shape better. Feel free to experiment with different berries for garnish. Raspberries, blueberries, or sliced strawberries all work beautifully.

May 8, 2025The mousse was a little too tart for my taste, so I added a bit more confectioners' sugar to the lemon curd. Perfect!
