1/2 C. sugar
Pot of boiling water, about 3 inches deep

Instructions
First you need to make a good fresh Lemon Curd. This will keep about 5 days in the fridgerator and about a month in the freezer. The taste when finished is like a Starburst of Lemon. You will need a pot of boiling water, a whisk, and a fine sieve.
1. Whisk until frothy; 3 eggs, 3 egg yolks, sugar, and salt. 2. Whisk in Lemon Juice and Lemon Zest. 3. Set over pot you have boiling to make a double-boiler. 4. Whisk like a mad tornado for 15 minutes. The first 5 minutes it will be frothy, the next 5 it will start to come together and thicken, the last 5 it will all come together and gel. Don't stop whisking for a moment. Take it off the heat. Next get a fine sieve and press the curd through, this will separate out any of the eggs that didn't cooperate and became scrambled. You should only have at most a tsp. Let the curd cool, cover with seran wrap and put in the fridge for a couple of hours to set.
Next, to make the mousse. 1. Take 1 C. Cold Heavy Cream and add 1/2 C. sugar. 2. Whisk until soft peaks have formed. 3. Take the curd and gently fold in 1/3 C. of whipped cream at a time until all the cream is mixed in. 4. Chill and serve.
Serving Suggestions
Serve with fresh berries and or Graham Crackers, wonderfully light dessert!
