Mini Lemon Cups

These Mini Lemon Cups are actually a by-product of the Star Cake I made for Sunday's get-together. The recipe for the mousse normally makes plenty to fill a larger cake, so there was a little bit left over. My little niece gave me some mini silicone cupcake moulds as a gift and they were ideal for making these tiny treats. These bite-size cheesecake like cups are perfect as a little sweet side with coffee or other hot drinks, when you don't want to have too much of the good stuff!

Little Lovelies!

  

By chance I had this little box that was perfect for transporting these mini cakes. The box originally had some porcelain tealight holders in it!

I quite enjoyed these myself and I will definitely make them again, but next time around I might add some kind of base perhaps made of crushed ginger snaps or digestive biscuits. For Christmas it would taste great with gingerbread biscuits and some cardamom!
