How to Make Lemon Cheesecake Mousse

Step 1: Dissolve the Jello

In a medium bowl, add the lemon Jello and pour in boiling water. Stir continuously until the Jello has completely dissolved.

Step 2: Blend with Cream Cheese

Transfer the dissolved Jello into a blender. Add cream cheese and cold water, and blend for about 1 minute until the mixture is perfectly smooth and creamy.

Step 3: Mix in Cool Whip

Pour the blended mixture into a large mixing bowl and fold in the Cool Whip. Stir gently until fully incorporated and smooth.

Step 4: Chill the Mousse

Spoon the mousse evenly into 4–6 dessert dishes (depending on portion size). Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the mousse to set and achieve that light, airy texture.

Step 5: Serve and Garnish

When ready to enjoy, top with fresh berries, a dollop of Cool Whip, or both. The mousse is best served cold, straight from the fridge.

Tip: Resist the urge to eat it immediately – letting it chill makes it even fluffier and more flavorful.

Optional Additions

• Graham Cracker Crust: For a cheesecake twist, layer the bottom of your serving dish with a mixture of crushed graham crackers, butter, and sugar before adding the mousse.
• Extra Toppings: Fresh berries, mint leaves, or an extra swirl of Cool Whip.

Make-Ahead & Storage Tips

• Prepare Ahead: You can make this mousse a day in advance. Cover each serving and store in the fridge. Top with fresh fruit just before serving.
• Shelf Life: Keep refrigerated. The mousse lasts 3–4 days, making it perfect for parties, after-dinner treats, or holiday celebrations.
• Containers: Glass containers work best, but any airtight container will do.

FAQs About Lemon Cheesecake Mousse

Can I freeze this mousse?
Yes! Frozen mousse transforms into a creamy, ice-cream-like dessert that’s rich and indulgent.

What’s the difference between mousse and pudding?
Mousse is light and airy, perfect for topping with berries or whipped cream. Pudding is thicker, denser, and usually eaten on its own.

Occasions: This mousse is ideal for Easter, Mother’s Day, birthdays, or any celebration where you want a simple but elegant dessert.
