Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup low-fat Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 3 tablespoons sugar substitute (such as stevia)
- 2 large egg whites
- 0.25 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup low-fat whipped topping
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine low-fat Greek yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, and sugar substitute. Stir until well mixed and set aside.
In a clean bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites on medium speed until frothy.
Add cream of tartar to the frothy egg whites and continue beating on high speed until stiff peaks form. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
Gently fold the egg whites into the yogurt mixture, doing so carefully to retain the airiness.
Fold in the vanilla extract and the low-fat whipped topping, ensuring the ingredients are just combined.
Distribute the lemon mousse evenly among 4 dessert glasses or bowls.
Chill the mousse in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
Garnish with additional lemon zest or a mint leaf if desired.
