Good one! Sweet and smooth. Tangy? I did use 1/4 cup lemon juice to sub the water, so yes, mine was nice and tangy. Not a bit too much. I also like that it has real cream and whole eggs in it. You can taste it and I also believe it's good for you.

I've made this several times now, it's a great 'company' dessert, which means, for me, at least, it cam be made in the morning and forgotten about until serving time. I've used lemon juice and also lime juice for a whole new dimension...delicious. It's a quite light mousse, especially nice after a rich, heavy main course.
