Sarah Jahn transforms the delicious citrus fruit into a lemon jelly and a lemon mousse. The ginger note gives the striking acidity an extra kick of freshness and harmonizes perfectly in these two quick dessert variations. The mousse is even served in the lemon. A real eye-catcher!

Lemon mousse
Ingredients: 2 untreated lemons, 2 sheets of gelatine, 130g whole milk yoghurt, 50g granulated sugar, 130g cream, lemon balm (decoration) 

Preparation: Wash the lemons in hot water and soak the gelatine in cold water. Cut the lemons in half, squeeze and scrape out the juice with a spoon. Cut off the ends of the lemon halves to make them stand upright. Heat the gelatine with half the lemon juice until it has dissolved, add the remaining lemon juice and stir in the sugar. Slowly stir into the yoghurt, then leave to cool slightly. Meanwhile, whip the cream until stiff and stir into the yogurt. Pour the mousse into the lemon halves and leave to set in the fridge. Decorate with lemon balm.
