  I made this for friends and everyone loved it. It's very easy to do and is a great dessert to make in advance.

  Substituted the lemon juice for vanilla essence and sprinkled with dark chocolate shavings... turned out very well, and a really simple recipe, definitely will be trying again with more flavours and variations. Only one slight concern was that the consistency was quite heavy, not as airy as some mousses. This was fine as a creamy vanilla dessert, but a citrus dessert might benefit from less density.

  I enjoyed the mousse but i agree with one or two comments regarding the lemon cream taste. I went for this recipe because i prefer not to use gelatine because of the content. I wonder if anyone knows of a recipe that doesnt use gelatine, perhaps agar agar? Thanks!

  I made this at very short notice for a friend's dinner party and everyone seemed to really like it. It was very easy and came out well, even though I think I slightly overwhipped the cream.

  Incredibly tasty for something so easy. My main challenge is not making the cream too thick before adding the egg whites, but it seems very forgiving. I first made this for a dinner party I went to - I needed a pudding in under an hour and this did the trick; everyone really enjoyed it, and one person asked for the recipe (so she must have liked it). It's rich but refreshing and you only need a very small serving.

  Like all the best recipes... very simple, and easy to adapt. I added an equal quantity of greek yoghurt to the cream, and used the zest and juice of two lemons. I also whisked in the egg yolks, because I hate waste... but they were fresh. It made a soft, light mousse, a bit liquid at the bottom... but delicious. I'm inspired by other reviewers' suggestions, and I'll try a biscuit base and/or a topping next time. Definitely one for my recipe folder.
