I learned to make and love lemon curd while living in England. This does it one better, lightening it with whipped cream to make a foolproof frozen mousse. My mother Myrna loved lemon so on Mother's Day that's what I think to make. Serve this for breakfast with mixed berries in season or as a dessert with poached peach halves and raspberry sauce, sort of an updated Peach Melba.

Ingredients

1/2 cup lemon juice

1 cup sugar

4 egg yolks

1 egg

1/2 cup butter, diced

3/4 cup heavy cream, whipped

Directions

  1. In a large heavy bottomed stainless steel saucepan combine the lemon juice, sugar, yolks, eggs, and butter. Over high heat whisk the mixture constantly until thickened. Strain it into a bowl set over ice and chill it stirring to thicken slightly. Fold in the whipped cream and pour or pipe into paper cones to the top, and set in a rack to hold them. Freeze overnight. Peel off the paper cone and serve.;

I made this about a year ago and all my guests loved it! I actually used a plastic wrap lined loaf pan and cut it into slices. Served it with fresh raspberries and some raspberry puree. I thought I had put it in my dessert file but it wasn't there when I went to look for it. I'm having a bridal shower and thought this would be a perfect - yummy and light - dessert! Great because I can make it ahead of time. I'm not going to lose the recipe this time. Thanks, Gale!
