First, the bottom layer melts in your mouth because it’s buttery shortbread, topped with a citrusy and fragrant meyer lemon curd. The top layer is a soft, light and creamy raspberry mousse. The cake is garnished with crumbs of mint sugar that add such a nice finishing touch. My only recommendation for this lemon bar raspberry mousse cake is that you better double the lemon layer.

Do you need gelatin for Mousse?
Traditionally, mousse and mousse cakes are made with gelatin. If you want to substitute the gelatin, you can use agar agar, and it should be handled in the same way.
How to make lemon zest
Follow the easy steps below:
- Rinse the lemon.
- Set your tool over a cutting board. A microplane produces a very fine zest, perfect for baking and cooking. If you don’t have a microplane, use the smallest holes on an ordinary grater.
- Grate the yellow skin of the lemon only. Grate just enough to get through the yellow skin, this way you can avoid the bitter white pith underneath.
- Rotate the lemon and repeat. Once the white pith is exposed, rotate the lemon and zest the next strip of peel. Repeat until most of the peel is removed, or until you have enough zest for your recipe.
How Long Will Raspberry Mousse Cake Stay Fresh?
The Raspberry Mousse cake can be stored wrapped in plastic wrap at room temperature for about 3-4 days.
CAN YOU FREEZE Raspberry MOUSSE CAKE?
- Freezing is possible for up to 2 months. Since the mousse contains gelatin and some sugar it will not freeze completely solid.
- To thaw the mousses cake, overnight in the fridge and consume within 24 hours. You may also be able to serve the mousse almost frozen, as an iced fruit mousse.
