Lemon Ice Cream Mousse Cake

I decided to make this Lemon Ice Mousse Cream for L's birthday two days ago since I had some lemons and oranges that needed to use up.Everyone loved it as this ice cream cake tasted so nice and fresh.
A refreshing Lemon Ice Cream Mousse cake with the combination of fresh lemon juice and orange juice, also added benefit of some Vitamin A and natural Vitamin C is much more effective than the synthetic one.

Happy Birthday, dear L
& Happy Thanksgiving to all Friends :)
