You fold the egg whites into the lemon custard a bit at a time. Stir some in until smooth and then start folding in the remainder a bit at a time so advto not lose the volume. It sounds like you didn’t fold them in properly.Marie Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407913432222377267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-63252026844746536862018-10-18T17:01:59.326+01:002018-10-18T17:01:59.326+01:00I made this today but when mixed the egg whites in...I made this today but when mixed the egg whites in the lemon mixture it curled any reason whyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17329631372658023330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-14357494699216537952011-10-21T12:49:18.596+01:002011-10-21T12:49:18.596+01:00Exactly the same has just happened to me - the syr...Exactly the same has just happened to me - the syrup has sunk to the bottom immediately. :-( Quite relieved to read in a previous blog that they should still taste good. Peaks were definitely stiff so I guess its to do with the length of cooking - to be honest I didn't realise I was 'cooking' it I just thought I was combining it over heat.

I know there is a very fine line between having it undercooked, properly cooked or ending up with scrambled egg. I cannot think of what else might have happened, but your sponge finger resolution sounds like a fabulous way to deal with it.Marie Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407913432222377267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-59642924956460327622011-03-29T08:53:01.034+01:002011-03-29T08:53:01.034+01:00I made these last night, but when i got up this mo...I made these last night, but when i got up this morning.... the lemon juice/syrup has sunk to the bottom!

I just stumbled upon your lovely blog...Hello Marie. I just stumbled upon your lovely blog and this recipe really caught my eye. I have so many lemons on our Meyer tree at the moment so I am glad I have discovered your lemon mousse. Just one thing; I get really confused when recipes state using the rind from a lemon. My lemons are huge, so does that mean I am going to have too much rind if I zest three. There is such a discrepancy in the size of lemons; honestly some of mine could pass as grapefruits. Sorry to go on; I look forward to checking out more of your blog.Through My Kitchen Windowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17300798774076098054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-60855244326962184132009-07-07T08:19:17.295+01:002009-07-07T08:19:17.295+01:00Marie the smell of these lemons has jumped right o...Marie the smell of these lemons has jumped right out of my computer screen & is sending my taste buds into over-drive! We had a fantastic lemon tree at our old house, but our new house is totally bereft. We planted 2 in big pots over a year ago & they've yet to give me any fruit. I do wish they'd get a hurry on, as a small bag from the Fruiterer is AU$4.50 - outrageous I say!<br />Millie ^_^Milliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15408461724832141163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7100882347408067241.post-10662077348092589142009-07-06T14:04:23.615+01:002009-07-06T14:04:23.615+01:00Lovely, lovely lemon mousse.
