I've seen a few people mention some lemon mousse recipe from S&S and how good it is. Not sure if it's from the regular or Pesach S&S.
If someone would be willing to post the recipe I would really appreciate it.
Or any other really good lemon mousse that doesn't need whip.
TIA!

Lemon Mousse Parfaits -- from Passover by Design

3/4 cup sugar
1 tbsp. potato starch
2 large eggs
3 large egg yolks
zest of 2 lemons (yellow only)
juice of 3 lemons
1 cup heavy cream or non-dairy whipping cream
1/2 cup confectioner's sugar
blueberries or raspberries

Combine sugar and potato starch in pot. Whisk in eggs, y9olks, zest and juice until blended.

Turn heat to medium and cook whisking until its thick and bubbly, about 3-4 minutes. Whisk 1 minute more. Remove from heat.

Place strainer over medium bowl. Pour lemon mixture through strainer using whisk to push it through. The zest and egg solids get caught in strainer and should be discarded.

Lay a sheet of plastic wrap on top of the lemon curd touching the surface so that it does not form a skin. Place in freezer to quickly cool while you whip the cream.

In mixer, beat cream on high until it is thick and stiff peaks form. Slowly beat in confectinoer's sugar.

Remove curd from freezer. Using spatula, fod in 1/3 of cream to lighten it. Fold in remaining cream until it is an even, pale color. Refrigerate.

Put handful of berries in each of 6 wine glasses and top with mousse. Serve chilled.
