Cooking Instructions
- 1
Choose a round springform pan and cover the base completely with ladyfingers, trimming if necessary. In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of water with 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Stir continuously without boiling for 4 minutes, then let it cool until warm.
- 2
Pour the cooled water mixture over the ladyfingers to soak them well. To make the lemon mousse, heat the milk in a saucepan until just before boiling, then add the gelatin and stir until completely dissolved. Add the lemon juice and sweetened condensed milk, remove from heat, and blend everything together. Let it cool until warm.
- 3
Whip the heavy cream, which should be very cold (I take it out of the fridge and put it in the freezer for 10 minutes), until it has a minimum of 35% fat content. Whip the cream with a whisk, but it doesn't need to be fully whipped as it will be mixed with the lemon mousse (it can be semi-whipped). Add the cream to the warm lemon mousse mixture and fold gently until well combined. Pour into the pan and freeze for 30 minutes, then refrigerate for 1.5 hours.

After the cake has set for 2 hours and is firm, prepare the gin tonic topping. Soak the 8 sheets of gelatin in room temperature water for a few minutes. In a saucepan, combine the water and sugar, stirring until dissolved. Add the drained gelatin, remove from heat, and blend everything together. Then add the lemon juice, gin, and tonic water, stirring well, and let it cool until warm.
- 5
Once the topping mixture is warm, strain it and pour over the set cake. Freeze for 30 minutes, then refrigerate for a few more hours until fully set. After a few hours, ensure it is set, then carefully remove from the pan using a knife around the edge to prevent sticking. Garnish with lime slices around the cake and a bit of grated lime zest on top (if you plan to consume it later, add the lime just before serving).

If you don't like alcohol, you can follow all the steps and replace the gin with more lemon juice (taste it first to adjust to your desired strength).

Mango Mousse Cake Mango Mousse Cake
I wanted to make a mousse with mango juice which is easier to obtain than mango purées.You can also make the mango juice with mango purées.

Rather than serving the mousse on its own, it'll taste more balanced by serving it with this jelly. For 18 cm [7.1 in] cake pan. Recipe by SOL* cookpad.japan -
Fluffy Strawberry and Chocolate Cake Fluffy Strawberry and Chocolate Cake
I wrote this to remember how to make a light mousse that isn't overpowering. Adding strawberries makes it a great cake with a tart taste.I used gelatin that took 100 ml of water to 2 g of gelatin. Using this kind, the strawberry mousse takes 1 g, chocolate mousse takes 3.2 g, and the glacage takes 2.8 g.I used a lot of gelatin in the glacage to make it no-fail. (So, there's probably going to be some leftover in the container.)You can use frozen or fresh strawberries. For 1 15 cm [5.9 in] diameter, 5 cm tall circular mold. Recipe by flan* cookpad.japan -

Double Chocolate Mousse Cake Double Chocolate Mousse Cake
Both the white chocolate mousse and the chocolate mousse recipes are delicious. So if the two are extravagantly put together, they must become even more delicious...and it was so, so, so good.If you don't line the mold with parchment paper, it maybe comes out prettier? Adding a good amount of gelatin to the white chocolate mousse and chocolate mousse makes it properly firm.If you don't add the white chocolate to the white chocolate mousse mixture, it will just be a bavarois, which is also very tasty. For 18 cm [7.1 in] round cake mold/inside diameter: 16.6 cm. Recipe by ko-ko cookpad.japan -
Healthy Okara Snack Honey Lemon Muffin and Cake Healthy Okara Snack Honey Lemon Muffin and Cake
This recipe was born from a mistake. I was trying to make honey and lemon cookies, but the dough turned out to be too soft either because the okara was too runny or too fine. So, I decided to change the ingredients and make it into a cake! Big success On my second try, I used muffin molds to make cute muffins.Because I used a silicon mold, it's not necessary to grease the pan. If you're not using a silicon mold, you should slightly grease the pan. The decoration is optional; you could use something else, or omit the whole process. For an easy-to-make amount.
