How to Make
Frequently Asked Questions
Mousse is a French word that means froth or foam, and is the culinary term for a light and airy dish. A mousse can be sweet or savory. Using whipped cream or beaten egg whites provides the classic texture. They’re often baked in a water bath to prevent the mousse from curdling.
Standard lemons are oval with a bulge on the blossom end. Meyer lemons are rounder, more fragrant, and less acidic. If you can’t find locate them, you can use regular lemons (Eureka and Lisbon lemons are commonly found in US grocery stores), but you’ll want to add some extra sugar since they are not as sweet as Meyer lemons.

- 4 Eggs, large
- ½ cup Sugar
- 1 cup Heavy Cream

- ½ cup Meyer Lemon Juice, from about 2 medium lemons
- 1 pint fresh Raspberries
- Fresh Mint and Raspberries to garnish, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°.
- Whisk the eggs and sugar together, then whisk in the cream. I like using a large Pyrex measuring cup with a spout.

- Place 6 ramekins or custard cups into a large baking pan with a high rim.
- Divide the mixture evenly between the ramekins.
- Place the baking pan in the oven.

Hi Liz,
For the giveaway, my favorite item to purchase is Trader joe’s wine. I hope that counts since it’s not necessarily ‘food’. 😀
Ciao,

For the Trader Joe’s Cookbook giveaway: We love so many items at TJ’s, especially the frozen sweet potatoes that are available during the holidays. This is such a time saver when we prepare our Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. We’re planning on purchasing a few extra bags to store in the freezer this November.
Fave TJ product: Pub Cheese. I always buy two at a time!
What a lovely, light and fresh dessert. You know that we love lemon anything so this one would be a winner over here. I don’t see meyer lemons but maybe they are seasonal, I’ll have to keep my eye out for them.
Meyer lemon raspberry clouds is yummy and delicious and best part it is easy to make it. I enjoyed making it.
I love so many TJ’s products, but Unexpected Cheddar is delightful! I also always buy their sunscreen. My closest TJ’s is 400 miles away, so it is always a fun adventure to go.
This recipe looks fantastic!
My favorite Trader Joe’s product (and one of the first ones I bought there 30 years ago) is their Peanut Butter Filled Pretzels.
What a fun giveaway! I love Trader Joe’s fresh flowers. I always come home with a pot of herbs. LOL!
I love these kind of recipes – and a Trader Joe’s cookbook to boot! Woo hoo!
Individual desserts are the best in my book – always pretty and elegant. And this luscious lemon mouse looks and sounds incredible!
This is SO good: Seville Orange Marmalade. I found it on my last trip to Trader Joe’s.
My favorite TJ product are the frozen frittatas with Swiss and cauliflower.
This recipe sounds fabulous! I can’t wait to try it! Also, I love that you’re giving away a Trader Joe’s cookbook. I enjoy so many of their products, especially some of their frozen frozen Kung Pao cauliflower bites and vegetable fried rice.
Delicate and fancy indeed! So special when served in small ramekins, not to mention how greatly lemon matches raspberries!!!!!
……….Such a light and beautiful dessert!……………
