CHEF’S TIP
Zest the lemon before squeezing it.
To serve this dessert in verrines, place a little mousse at the bottom of 6 verrines and top with cubes of angel food cake and a few strawberries. Repeat to form two layers, then garnish with lemon zest.
Save leftover coulis to drizzle over a cake or yogurt.
Freeze egg whites to use later. You can add them to an omelette or use to make a meringue.
