Method:

Place a 4 cup capacity bowl in the freezer or refrigerator to chill.

Add the cream cheese and powdered sugar to a large bowl. Blend on low to mix and then increase the speed to medium. Mix until smooth. Add the salt, lemon juice, zest and vanilla to the creamed mixture. Mix well.

Add the heavy cream to the chilled bowl. Beat on high until stiff peaks form. (about 2 minutes.)  Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until all is well combined. Refrigerate to set and chill for 30 minutes or overnight.

To serve, use an ice cream scoop to divide the mousse into 4 serving bowls.** If desired, garnish each serving with a piece of lemon and/or fresh berries. Makes 4 servings.

**Any dessert bowl or cup will work, but martini or margarita glass makes this dessert look special.
