Heavenly Lemon Mousse

By momonamission

Mousse is not hard to make, but you do have to watch the mixture carefully as it cooks since it thickens quickly.

Ingredients

• 6 egg yolks
• 2 eggs
• 3/4 cup sugar substitute
• 1 tablespoon lemon peel (from 1 large lemon)
• 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (from 2 lemons)
• 1 1/2 cups light or fat-free whipped topping

Preparation

Step 1

In a medium stainless steel saucepan over medium heat, combine yolks, whole eggs, sugar substitute, peel, and juice.
Cook 4 minutes, whisking constantly, until thickened to a custard consistency.
Remove from heat; pour into medium bowl and refrigerate until cold (about 25 minutes).
Just before serving, fold in whipped topping until combined and lightened. Spoon into serving bowls.
