This Easy Lemon Mousse Is Impossibly Creamy
Like many of you, when I want something sweet, I reach for chocolate 99% of the time. The other 1%? I’m searching for something light and creamy like fresh strawberries and whipped cream or this layered pumpkin mousse. But because we’re currently in the midst of winter and spring seems too far away, let me introduce you to this fresh, citrusy, and just-sweet-enough lemon mousse.
Each serving is filled with crunchy graham crackers, creamy lemon mousse, zingy lemon curd, and fluffy whipped cream. This easy dessert requires zero baking, comes together in just 20 minutes, and looks fancy, to boot.

Storage and Make-Ahead Tips
You can totally make components of this dessert ahead of time. The lemon mousse and graham cracker crumbs can both be made one day in advance.
If you want to assemble the mousse beforehand, you can build individual ones, adding the whipped cream and lemon zest garnish on top. They’ll hold well overnight in the fridge and the lemon zest won’t dry out. Leftovers can be covered and refrigerated for a couple of days after, but the crumbs will soften.
