Lemon Mousse with Condensed Milk

This summer in Vivero, the most popular dessert in my family has been the lemon mousse with condensed milk.

I asked my aunt Carmela to teach me how to make this dessert since it is easy to make, fresh and creamy. Furthermore, it can be stored for several days in the fridge.

Ever since I can remember, I have always spent my summers in Vivero. It is a family tradition that I will try to pass on to my children.

Summers in northern Spain are usually cold and rainy; however, this summer of 2021… has been awesomely sunny! And that’s why this dessert has conquered us all!

I am very happy to share with you this easy lemon mousse recipe.

When Should I Make This Lemon Mousse Recipe ?

My recommendation for you is to make this lemon mousse with condensed milk at least 6 hours before eating it. It tastes even better one or two days after making it because the mixture will be more settled and tasty.

How to Make Lemon Mousse with Condensed Milk

In a bowl, add 370 grams of condensed milk and 4 plain sugar free Greek yogurts. Mix all together with a spatula.
Grate 4 lemons. Remember not to grate the white part of the lemon peel because it is bitter. Set aside the lemon zest.
Squeeze the lemons and pour the resulting lemon juice to the yogurt mixture while stirring with a whisk.
Add the zest of the lemons to this mixture and keep stirring.
When the mixture is well combined, serve in small glasses.
To decorate and give this dessert an even fresher touch, grate a little lime over the top of the mousse.
Put it to chill in the fridge for 4 hours. You can wrap each glass with cling film to better protect the mixture and to keep it from absorbing odors.
