Easy clotted cream and lemon curd mousse
To go with Phil's succulent belly pork with crispy gherkin dressing, our chef is making easy clotted cream and lemon curd mousse with shortbread!
Serves: 6-7
Ingredients
1 x 300g tub full fat soft cheese397g can condensed milk1 x 200g tub Rodda’s clotted cream150g good quality lemon curdFinely grated zest and juice of 4 lemonsFinely grated zest and juice of 2 large limesSherbert if you can get some
Method
Whisk the cream cheese, condensed milk, and clotted cream together until thick and very creamy. The longer you whisk the cream cheese and milk for, the lighter the mousse will be.
Add the lemon curd, juices and zests and whip for a few seconds only as the mixture will tighten very quickly
The reaction of the acid mixing with the creams thickens extremely quickly, so take care
Immediately spoon into small dishes or a large trifle bowl, then chill until set, best overnight
To serve, spoon the mousse into bowls or eat from individual moulds, drizzle over a little melted bitter chocolate and serve shortbread separately
