Jumping on the lemon bandwagon.

June 24, 2011

Don’t forget to enter the latest giveaway!

I feel like lately all I have seen are lemon desserts. I love lemon but where is all the chocolate??

(But if you do like lemon be sure to check all these desserts out.)

Want your lemon in bar form? Well try these.

Or maybe you like it… well icy.

Microwave lemon curd? Who knew it could be done!

And I am a freak about lemon in cheesecake form!

And now how about lemon mousse? I loved the idea behind this low calorie dessert. Really the flavor possibilities are endless. Lime or Strawberry daiquiri anyone?

I did find the texture in these a little bit off but I think that is because my Jello did not fully dissolve and my whipped topping was frozen and not thawed which made it difficult to blend. I can’t wait to try these again and follow my own tips! Ha!

Whipped Lemon Mousse
Printable Version

Prep Time: 15 minutes Chill Time: 5 hours Serves 12

2 cups water
3 (3 ounce) packages lemon flavored gelatin
3 cups crushed ice
1 (12 ounce) can frozen lemonade

1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed

Place 2 cups water in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 4 minutes. Add gelatin, stir to completely dissolve and microwave 1 minute more.

Add crushed ice to dissolved gelatin and stir until completely melted. Add frozen lemonade concentrate and stir until dissolved.  Place gelatin in large bowl, cover with plastic wrap and chill in the freezer from 45 minutes, until gelatin is thickened but not set.

Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat dessert topping into gelatin 1 cup at a time. Pour mixture into serving glasses and refrigerate for another 2 hours or until set.

 Serve topped with additional whipped topping.
