LEMON-SOUR CREAM MOUSSE
This is a mousse in the Scandinavian tradition of making dished with sweetened sour cream. This is a light dessert after a heavy cream laden meal. In keeping with Scandinavian tradition a bright red color is very often used to accent a light colored dish, so serve this with fresh strawberries or raspberries.
