Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • ½ cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons vegan gelatin powder (or agar-agar)
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  1. Start by blooming the vegan gelatin: Combine the gelatin powder with water in a small bowl and let sit for 5–10 minutes.
  2. Prepare the cream cheese mixture: In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. Mix in lemon zest and juice until well combined.
  3. Dissolve the bloomed gelatin by gently heating it until fully dissolved, then cool slightly before adding to the cream cheese mixture.
  4. Whip the heavy cream with vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  5. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture in batches to maintain airiness.
  6. Spoon the mousse into serving cups or bowls and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
  7. Before serving, garnish as desired with lemon zest or fresh fruit.
