I used to make a lovely light lemon mousse by making up a packet lemon jelly with a little less water (making the total around 3/4 pint), sometimes adding in some lemon juice for a more genuine lemon flavour. When that was cool I would whisk a small can of evaporated milk until it was light and bubbly then carefully fold the jelly into the whipped evaporated milk (folding is using a metal spoon to gently turn the mixture over, to avoid knocking out the bubbles, as you add the jelly in slowly). I think this would avoid the problem of separation.

My Mum used to make this Mousse for us when we were little. Always popular at parties. Re Mirza's comment, sometimes Mum's would be a little like blancmange or custard in texture in the bottom of the bowl & the top was ok. She could never work out why this was. Maybe there wasn't enough air whisked into it as the ingredient's aren't exactly difficult to get wrong...I really don't know. Suffice to say your next Mousse could be just right so I wouldn't worry...Enjoy!
