Lemon Mousse NapoleonsRita Maas

This recipe makes more phyllo crisps (the building-block wafers of the napoleons) than you'll need—they can replace any that break along the way and are delicious on their own.

Cooks' notes:

·Crisps keep in an airtight container at room temperature 1 week.
·Mousse can be made 4 hours ahead and chilled, covered.
