Dessert shooters are always fun– a nice little bit of sweetness without the heaviness of a traditional sized dessert.
This three ingredient shooter is super easy to create. Great for a party, these lemon mousse shooters can be made ahead, and if you use little disposable decorative cups, are clean-up free!
The lemon flavor for these shooters comes from lemon curd. I love lemon curd and very often use it in tarts – it packs so much flavor. For today’s dessert, I used store bought lemon curd (a 10 oz. jar is approximately 2/3 cup) and lightened it up by folding it into some whipped cream. With this mousse mixture and some gingersnap cookie crumbs, the shooter is complete!
Raspberries, mint, or lemon slice candies make great garnishes, but if you want to stay strict to three ingredients, top the shooter off with a piece of gingersnap cookie instead.
The hard store bought gingersnaps work best to make crumbs. If you are not a gingersnap fan, you can easily change the gingersnap crumbs for some shortbread cookie crumbs.
I hope you enjoy these little lemon mousse shooters!
Thanks for stopping by! Remember to take pleasure in simple things, Jackie

When I read lemon curd, I was like “Oh no, don’t know how to make” but then saw you can buy it. This is so EZ, thanks so much!
It is really easy to find in the jam/jelly section of the grocery store Mary Beth!
Shooters without the alcohol. How neat!! Sound delicious and look so nice!
