SUMMER DESSERT: Lemon Meringue Mousse with fresh berries!

On my birthday, June 7th I hosted a PREVIEW DINNER SERIES event. One of the menu items I requested was a light and airy dessert so the chef whipped up a "Lemon Meringue Mousse with Fresh Berries"

So here is a quick recipe for you all.

1 1/2 cups heavy cream

1/2 cup sugar, divided

1/4 cup lemon juice

1 teaspoon Pure Lemon Extract 

1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract 

1 cup blueberries

1 cup sliced strawberries

Beat heavy cream, 5 tablespoons of the sugar, lemon juice and extracts in large chilled bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form.

Toss berries and remaining 3 tablespoons sugar in medium bowl. Layer mousse and berries in dessert dishes. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Within 15 minutes you should have a mouth watering summer dessert! 

Enjoy!
