Lemon Cheesecake Mousse 
I’ve been eating for over 2 years and although I make tons of treats, this recipe is now amount my 3 favorite baked goods ever!!
Must express something to keep getting my recipes…. Thank you.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs (optional, for layering or topping)
• Fresh berries or mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Whip the Cream:
   • In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
2. Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture:
   • In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
   • Add the fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. Beat until well combined and smooth.
3. Combine:
   • Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix; you want to keep the mousse light and airy.
4. Assemble the Mousse:
   • If using graham cracker crumbs, sprinkle some at the bottom of each serving glass.
   • Spoon or pipe the lemon cheesecake mousse into the glasses, layering with more graham cracker crumbs if desired.
5. Chill:
   • Refrigerate the mousse for at least 2 hours, or until it is set and chilled.
6. Serve:
   • Garnish with fresh berries or mint leaves if desired, and enjoy!

This Lemon Cheesecake Mousse is creamy, tangy, and perfect for any occasion!
