Lemon chiffon is a light and airy dessert made primarily from lemon juice, sugar, eggs, and whipped cream. It is known for its refreshing citrus flavor and smooth texture, often served chilled. The dessert is typically set in a mold, allowing it to hold its shape when unmolded. The term "chiffon" refers to the fluffy consistency achieved by folding whipped egg whites into the mixture. This technique is common in various chiffon desserts, including chiffon cake. Lemon chiffon is popular for spring and summer gatherings, providing a bright and zesty end to meals.
