Why oh why is laundry such a vicious cycle? I hate it. If there was one chore I could just have magically done for me, laundry would totally be it. To me, laundry is:

Annoying.

Time consuming.

Dirty.

Smelly.

and did I mention time consuming?

I’m pretty sure it’s the reason my house is always messy. Because I don’t have the hands or the time to get it done. BAH!! How’s that for venting on a Wednesday morning?

Do you know the song that goes “I am slowly going crazy 1 2 3 4 5 6 switch slowly going crazy am I 654321 switch“? That is, in essence, the story of my life. My mother used to sing it in jest {or so I thought}….I totally understand where she’s coming from.

**I’d like to point out that she did laundry for 8 people. Coincidence? I think not. #neverwillIhavethatmanyoffspringevenifItried

Soooo, instead of doing laundry yesterday, I made ice cream. Well, sort of ice cream. It tastes more like frozen mousse than anything….hence the name mousse in the title. {I’m smart like that.} ANYWAYS, I got to thinking about the box of lemon bar mix I had in my pantry. I was just going to make straight up lemon bars and eat them all because I’m addicted to lemon desserts. But then I got to thinking even more and before I knew it, there was this lovely sweet dessert in my freezer that was begging to be eaten and photographed. So, that’s what I did. Please make this and validate me and my crazy ideas. You know you want to.

Creamy, dreamy, lemony, tangy and it has little bits of crumbs through the whole thing!! That was my favorite part. All you need is some whipping cream and a box of lemon bar mix….that’s it! The lemon bar mixes are found in the baking aisle, next to the boxed cake mixes. I used the Krusteaz brand. TWO ingredients, ya’ll, and super simple to throw together 🙂 As per usual.

Here’s how you make it:Pour 2 cups of cream and the filling from a lemon bar box mix into a blender.Blend for about 30 seconds or until it gets really really thick.Scoop this lemon mixture into a plastic container…and sprinkle on the bag of crust from the lemon bar mix.Swirl it in as best as you can and freeze.I of course stuck mine into my fabulous freezer in my KitchenAid French Door Refrigerator. I love this freezer. It’s very smartly designed. My favorite part of is this skinny little pull out drawer in between the larger ones above and below. It’s the perfect spot for skinnier items that would otherwise get lost at the bottom of the freezer, like bacon, chicken and this little container of ice cream. Loves it!Anyways, after a few hours in the freezer, scoop it out and serve it how you like! My daughter went crazy over this stuff, and believe it or not,  I did too. {Surprise surprise, right?}

Here’s the printable. Enjoy, friends!!
