Limoncello Mousse Recipes

LIMONCELLO MOUSSE

Steps:

• Step 1: Place eight 2 1/2-inch diameter-by-3-inch-tall pastry ring molds on a parchment paper lined baking sheet; set aside.
• Step 2: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment on medium high speed, whip 1 pound mascarpone cheese, 1/2 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons Limoncello liqueur and the zest of one lemon until creamy, about 10 minutes. Add 1 cup heavy cream and whip until soft peaks form, about 3 to 4 minutes.
• Step 3: Using a pastry bag or spoon, divide mousse mixture between ring molds and freeze several hours or until firm.
• Step 4: To unmold, place 8 sugar cookies on a baking sheet. Using a paring knife, run the knife around the inside of the ring mold to loosen the mousse. Place mold on top of cookie and press the frozen mousse onto sugar cookie. Refrigerate 2 hours.
• Step 5: To serve, use a spatula to transfer sugar cookie topped with mousse to a serving plate. Break another sugar cookie in half and press the half cookie into the top of the mousse. Top with a sprig of fresh mint. Garnish plates with raspberry sauce, lemon curd and a chocolate straw, if desired.

Steps:

• Using a vegetable peeler, remove the peel from the lemons in long strips (reserve the lemons for another use). Using a small sharp knife, trim away the white pith from the lemon peels; discard the pith. Place the lemon peels in a 2-quart pitcher. Pour the vodka over the peels and cover with plastic wrap. Steep the lemon peels in the vodka for 4 days at room temperature.

Cover and let stand at room temperature overnight. Strain the limoncello through a mesh strainer. Discard the peels. Transfer the limoncello to bottles. Seal the bottles and refrigerate until cold, at least 4 hours and up to 1 month.
