Ingredients
1 can (14.5 oz) sweetened condensed milk
1.5 to 2 tablespoons fresh lemon zest (finely grated)
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (add more or less to taste)
2 cups heavy cream
1/4 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
2 Tbsp Cointreau or Grand Marnier (optional)
Directions
In a large bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk and lemon zest.
Add the fresh lemon juice to the mixture - it will thicken as the acid reacts with the condensed milk.
If using, add the vanilla extract and Cointreau or Grand Marnier.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream by hand to soft peaks.
The cream should hold soft peaks but not be too stiff, as overly whipped cream can make the mousse taste buttery.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the lemon mixture using a spatula.
Transfer the mousse to individual serving glasses or one large serving bowl.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the mousse to set properly.
Serve with pound cake or cookies if desired.

Jacques Pépin's delightfully simple lemon mousse comes together in minutes with just four basic ingredients. Made with sweetened condensed milk that magically thickens with fresh lemon juice, this cloud-like dessert is whipped to perfection and brightened with aromatic lemon zest. An optional splash of Cointreau adds elegant complexity, while proper cream-whipping technique ensures a sublime, non-buttery texture. Perfect for entertaining, this make-ahead dessert serves eight and impresses without the fuss of traditional egg-based mousses. - Claude

💬 Uncle Dave says...
Jacques Pépin notes that when whipping cream for mousses, it's important not to overbeat it. Stop at soft peaks to avoid a buttery texture.
He recommends doing the whipping in your sink to avoid splashing and because it's easier on your arm due to the lower height.
For the zest, he uses a microplane to get just the surface of the skin where all the essential oils are, avoiding the bitter white pith.
This recipe can also be made with orange juice and zest instead of lemon for a different citrus variation.
