I used all the eggs whites and mixed half of them in with the lemon curd to lighten it up. It came out amazing! :

This is very good, and I love lemon desserts... especially in the summer. One thing that bothers me, though, about some Ina Garten's recipes is that she calls for extra large eggs. I always have large eggs on hand. I should have added an extra yolk, because my custard did not thicken. My fault. Be sure to buy extra large eggs if you're going to try this. Also, in spite of the defense from one of her friends in an earlier review, most of the reviewers are right. The lemon curd (mine was from a room temperature new jar does not integrate readily into the mousse. It just doesn't. So I would have liked a tip about that in the recipe.

This was INSANELY delicious!! After reading the reviews, I saved a little of the whipped cream and blended the lemon curd with it. It was much easier to fold into the mousse after that. By the time it was chilled for a while, the rest of the curd had dissolved into the mousse. I'm so glad I brought this to someone's house or I would have eaten most of it by myself!

OMG!!! We are huge lemon lovers and this is a fabulous dessert. As others mentioned, the lemon curd is difficult to fold in at the last, so I stirred some of the mousse into the curd to thin it a little and it folded in easily. Next time I will add the lemon curd prior to folding in the egg whites and whipped cream. This recipe is a definately a keeper.

WOW! What a dessert! There is no way this could taste better. I actually didn't read the recipe correctly and didn't buy enough lemons (only 2 and it still tasted amazing! I am not a cook, but I was able to make this one easily. Thank you so much Ina for sharing an easy, fantastic dessert!
