Expert Tips

  • Tip 1
    Substitution : If you can't find lemon curd in the jams and jellies section of your supermarket, use 3/4 cup canned lemon pie filling instead. The only difference is the mousse will be slightly softer.
  • Tip 2
    Success Hint : Top this luscious cake with thin slices of lemon and fresh raspberries.
  • Tip 3
    Tip : Lemon curd is a rich, tart custard made with sugar, lemon juice, lemon peel, butter and eggs. Although you can make it from scratch, it's much easier to pick up a jar in the jams and jellies section of the supermarket.
