Method
Step 1
In a medium heatproof bowl, rub sugar and 1 tbs lemon rind between fingertips until moist and fragrant. Whisk in 1/3 cup (80ml) lemon juice and the egg yolks until well combined.
Step 2
Place the bowl over a medium saucepan of simmering water. Using an electric mixer, whisk the lemon mixture for 6 mins or until light, fluffy and thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Set aside for 10 mins to cool.
Step 3
Whisk the mascarpone and sour cream into the lemon mixture until well combined. Using a large silicone spatula, gently fold in the whipped cream, in 2 batches, until combined.
Step 4
Divide the mousse among serving bowls. Place in the fridge to chill for 1 hour or until set. Sprinkle the biscuit and extra lemon rind over the mousse to serve.
