# How to Prepare:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Combine flour, sugar, salt, and cold cubed butter in a bowl. Rub together with fingertips or use a pastry cutter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Spread evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
03 - Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden brown. Remove from oven and cool completely.
04 - In a heatproof bowl, whisk together egg yolks, 1/4 cup sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Place bowl over a pot of simmering water and whisk constantly for 7 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
05 - In a clean bowl, beat egg whites with cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 1/4 cup sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.
06 - In a separate bowl, whip chilled cream to soft peaks.
07 - Gently fold whipped cream into the cooled lemon mixture. Then fold in the egg whites until just combined and smooth.
08 - Spoon a generous layer of shortbread crumble into the bottom of 6 small serving glasses or ramekins. Top with lemon mousse.
09 - Chill for at least 2 hours before serving. Garnish each cup with fresh berries, lemon zest curls, and mint leaves if desired.
