You can make your own but I had a jar of it in my fridge (told ya I LOVE lemon stuff!) so I just added that to the whipped cream and kept mixing until it was fully incorporated. It consists of whipped cream stabilized with gelatin, and lemon curd.

The lemon mousse was extremely easy to make. Adding that baking sheet flattened them down nicely and I got the perfect puff pastry layers for my Napoleon. I continued to bake them for 6 minutes and then removed the baking sheet and baked them until they were golden brown, approximately 6 more minutes.

In the end what I did was cook it for 10 minutes, then I placed another empty baking sheet on top of the pastries (I put a sheet of parchment paper over mine first so the pan didn’t stick to them). No, I didn’t make my own, but the puff pastry in a Napoleon should be flattened not puffy and that took me a couple of tries to get right. The hardest part for me was getting the puff pastry right. Lemon Berry Napoleons are actually pretty easy to make, or they will be for you because you get to learn from my mistakes. That means that we may be compensated if you click a link and purchase something. This gorgeous Lemon Berry Napoleon is piles of creamy lemon mousse sandwiched between light, flaky puff pastry and topped with fresh berries. Lemon Cream Cheese Danish, and Lemon Ice Box Pie are at the top of my list, or they were until now. That’s probably why you see so many lemon recipes around here. Lemon desserts are my favorite! I’m not saying I don’t love chocolate because all you have to do is take a look at this Brownie Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cake, or these Chocolate Croissants to know I do BUT if I had to choose I’d pick lemon over chocolate every time. This Lemon Berry Napoleon is layers of lemon mousse and flaky puff pastry stacked together and topped with beautiful fresh fruit.
