Frozen Lemon Mousse With Blueberries Recipes

FROZEN LEMON WHIP WITH BLUEBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Line a 6-cup jumbo muffin tin with paper muffin liners.
• Whisk together egg yolks and sugar in a large bowl until well combined, then add the lemon juice and zest. Pour into a heavy bottomed saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens to the consistency of gravy, 8 to 10 minutes, (it should cling to the spoon when you stop stirring). Pour the mixture through a fine mesh sieve placed over a glass bowl. Stir the mixture occasionally to help release some of the heat. Once cooled to room temperature, put plastic wrap directly on the surface of the lemon curd to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until firm.
• In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks. Whisk the chilled lemon curd to loosen it and fold half the cream into it to lighten. Gently fold in the remaining whipped cream until just blended. Divide the lemon whip between the muffin cups, smoothing the tops. Put the pan on a sheet tray, cover with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours.
• To serve, remove muffin tray from freezer and let stand 10 minutes. Serve immediately by placing thin lemon slices on a plate and inverting the lemon whip directly on top of the lemon slices (this prevents sliding on the plate). Drizzle berry sauce over the top and around the frozen lemon whip. Garnish with a few fresh blueberries and enjoy your refreshing cold treat!!!
• Put the blueberries in a small saucepan with the sugar, lemon juice and zest. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook, stirring, until sugar dissolves and berries begin to burst. Cool slightly, then add to a blender and puree. Strain through a fine mesh sieve over a glass bowl and chill, covered, in the refrigerator until ready to use.

FROZEN LEMON MOUSSE

Steps:

• Cut 2-inch holes out of the bottom of a large tin foil roasting pan in neat rows, leaving 1 to 2 inches in between the holes. Invert the pan and place paper cooler cups in the holes to hold them upright during freezing.
• In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan combine the lemon juice, sugar, yolks, egg, and butter. Over medium 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 set in the prepared tin foil roasting pan. Freeze overnight. Peel off the paper and serve the cone flat side down and serve with berries.
• In a small saucepan bring water, sugar and vanilla bean to a boil. Add blackberries and turn off the heat. Fish the berries out of the hot liquid with a slotted spoon, and transfer them to a plate in a single layer and allow to cool.
• Yield: 1 cup

FROZEN LEMON MOUSSE

Steps:

• Prepare ice-water bath in large bowl. Juice 1 lemon; reserve juice. Juice additional lemons to yield 1 cup. Make lemon curd: Place 1 cup lemon juice, sugar, egg yolks, whole eggs, and butter in saucepan; whisk to combine. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly until it begins to boil, about 7 minutes.
• Strain curd through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl set in the ice bath. Stir periodically until cool; remove from ice bath. Place plastic wrap directly on surface of curd to prevent a skin from forming; refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 3 days.
• Place 1 1/2 cups chilled heavy cream in large mixing bowl; whisk until soft peaks form. Reserve 1/2 cup lemon curd for sauce; add remaining lemon curd to whipped cream. Fold gently until well combined.
• Place an 8-inch nonstick springform pan on baking sheet. Transfer mousse to springform pan. Place in freezer on sheet until firm, at least 4 hours.
• Drain candied lemon zest; reserve syrup. Make the lemon sauce: Whisk 1/3 cup syrup, reserved 1/2 cup lemon curd, and reserved juice of 1 lemon in a small bowl. Remove frozen mousse from freezer and let warm 4 to 5 minutes at room temperature. Meanwhile, whisk creme fraiche and remaining 2 tablespoons cream in medium bowl until soft peaks form. Remove sides of springform pan. Slice mousse and place on plates. Spoon lemon sauce around mousse; top with creme fraiche. Garnish with candied zest, and serve.

CREAM PUFFS WITH LEMON MOUSSE AND BLUEBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Make the cream puffs: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine water, butter, granulated sugar, and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, and remove from heat. Stir in flour until combined, and return to medium heat. (This mixture is called a panade.)
• Dry the panade by stirring constantly for 4 minutes. It is ready when it pulls away from the sides and a film forms on the bottom of the pan.
• Transfer to the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, and mix on low until slightly cooled, about 2 minutes. On medium speed, add 4 eggs, one at a time, incorporating each completely before adding the next. Lightly beat fifth egg, and add a little at a time until batter is smooth and shiny. Test by touching it with your finger and lifting to form a string. If string does not form, the batter needs more egg. If you've added all the eggs and the batter still doesn't form a string, add water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until it does.
• Using a pastry bag fitted with a plain 1/2-inch round tip, pipe ten 2 1/2-inch rounds of batter onto parchment-lined baking sheets. Brush with egg wash, and sprinkle with sanding sugar. Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350 degrees, and bake until puffed and golden and centers are dry, about 35 minutes more. Let cool on a wire rack.
• Make the blueberry sauce: Bring 1 cup blueberries, the water, granulated sugar, lemon zest, and salt to a boil in a small saucepan. Reduce heat, and simmer until most of the berries have burst, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Add remaining cup blueberries, and crush lightly.
• Make the lemon mousse: Lightly whisk lemon curd, and fold in whipped cream using a rubber spatula. Halve each cream puff, and fill bottoms with lemon-mousse. Spoon on blueberry sauce, replace tops, and serve.

LEMON MOUSSE WITH FRESH BERRIES

Whisk until mixture thickens and thermometer inserted into mixture registers 160°F. Transfer lemon curd to another large bowl. Chill until cool, whisking occasionally.
• Toss halved strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries and remaining 1 tablespoon sugar in another large bowl.
• Using electric mixer, beat 11/2 cups cream in medium bowl until medium-firm peaks form. Fold 1/3 of whipped cream into lemon curd to lighten, then fold in remaining whipped cream.
• Divide berry mixture among 8 dessert bowls or wineglasses. Spoon lemon mousse over berries. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• Using electric mixer, beat remaining 1/2 cup cream in medium bowl until stiff peaks form. Spoon whipped cream atop desserts or transfer whipped cream to pastry bag fitted with large star tip and pipe atop desserts. Garnish with whole strawberries and mint sprigs.

FROZEN LEMON MOUSSE WITH BLUEBERRIES

Steps:

• Line a 2-qt (2-l) ring mold with plastic wrap, overhanging the edges by about 3 inches (7.5 cm).
• In a large heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, lemon juice, corn syrup, and lemon zest until blended. Place over (not touching) simmering water in a saucepan and whisk constantly until the mixture registers 170°F (77°C) on a candy thermometer, about 10 minutes.
• Remove the bowl from the heat. Using an electric mixer on high speed, beat the yolk mixture until it is cool and thickened, about 6 minutes.
• In a chilled bowl, using the electric mixer fitted with clean, dry beaters, beat the cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. Using a rubber spatula, fold the cream into the cooled yolk mixture just until no white streaks remain. Spoon the mousse mixture into the prepared mold. Cover tightly with the overhanging plastic wrap and freeze overnight or for up to 3 days.
• About 1 hour before serving, place a round platter in the freezer. In a large, heavy frying pan over medium heat, stir the jam just until melted. Remove the pan from the heat and add the blueberries. Toss the berries to coat them thinly with the jam. Let cool completely, about 1 hour.
• Uncover the mousse. Invert the chilled platter over the mold and then, holding the mold and platter firmly together with both hands, invert them. Lift off the mold and peel off the plastic wrap. Spoon enough of the blueberries into the center of the ring to fill nicely. Garnish with mint sprigs, if using, and serve. Pass the remaining berries at the table.
• Clean out the freezer
• If you are planning to serve a frozen dessert at a dinner party, consider taking the time to clean and/or defrost the freezer in advance of the event. Some foods stored in the freezer can impart off odors or flavors into newly placed foods.
