Lemon Mousse Cake sounds like a dessert you would find on a restaurant’s menu, but take a look. It’s two steps and made-from-a-mix easy.

Expert Tips

Stir several drops yellow food color into the frosting and pie filling mixture for a brighter yellow.

Leftover pie filling? Layer it with vanilla yogurt in dessert dishes, or mix it with an equal amount of whipped topping and serve over pancakes or waffles.

I was hoping this dessert tasted like a restaurant dessert and half of it does. The cake layers had a lovely flavor and tasted clean and yummy. I spread lemon curd (no lemon pie filling at my store) between the layers first and then spread the frosting on top of that. Two problems with this recipe: like another reviewer shared, there was a TON of frosting left--enough to almost fill up the second container and I spread the frosting generously. The second problem is the frosting itself. It didn't taste special and the "from a can" flavor popped through. This one isn't a keeper for me.

Great recipe!! Instead of making the mousse from scratch I used a base I purchased from www.DessertsNow.com. This dessert was a great hit with the family and will be used for years to come!!
