Making this Easy Lemon Mousse is straightforward that even novice cooks can handle. Just follow these steps:

1. Chill the Equipment: Place mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes to chill.
2. Whip the Cream: In the chilled mixing bowl, pour the heavy cream. Whip until soft peaks form; this usually takes around 2-3 minutes on high speed.
3. Mix the Other Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine sweetened condensed milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk together until smooth and fully incorporated.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the lemon mixture. Start with a spoonful of whipped cream to lighten the mixture, then gradually fold in the rest until well mixed. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
5. Spoon into Dishes: Once combined, spoon the mousse into individual serving dishes, or a large serving bowl, depending on your preference.
6. Chill: Cover the dishes with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. For optimal flavor, chilling for 2 hours is recommended.
7. Garnish: Before serving, top with fresh berries and mint leaves for an extra pop of color and flavor.
8. Serve: Serve chilled, delighting in each creamy, citrusy bite of the mousse.
