Instructions
Mousse:
-
Make the mousse: In a sauce pan, add sweet lemon juice and sugar and let the mixture come to a simmer.
-
Add the lemon juice and lemon zest to the pan and let the mixture come to a boil.
-
In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch and water.
-
Once the sweet lemon mixture comes to a boil, add the cornstarch water to it and mix continuously. Let the mixture thicken until it coats the back of a spoon. Take it off the heat.
-
In a medium-sized bowl, add whipping cream and extract of half a vanilla bean pod. Using a hand mixer or a whisk, whip the cream to stiff peaks.
-
Once the sweet lemon mixture is completely cool to touch, add it to the whipped cream in thirds and fold it gently.
-
Until ready to serve, store it in the refrigerator.
Crumble:
-
In a bowl, add the dried fruits and oats and mix them thoroughly.
-
Add the cubed chilled butter to the mixture and rub it into the mixture with hands. (The heat of the hands slightly melts the butter, making it easier to mix)
-
Add the honey and mix it well.
-
Add the wheat flour and mix it until it coats all the dried fruits and oats mixture.
-
In a baking tray, spread out the mixture and bake it until it turns golden brown. Alternatively, add the mixture to a large pan and mix it continuously to form the crumble on a stove top.
-
Let the mixture completely cool down before serving.
-
To serve, add 1 tsp crumble into the sweet lemon cups and fill in fully with the mousse.
-
Garnish it with fresh leaves and cubes sweet lemon.
