Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 ml Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 240 grams Greek yogurt
- 240 ml Heavy cream
- 2 Egg whites
- 60 grams Powdered Erythritol
- 1 teaspoon Gelatin powder
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine gelatin powder with 2 tablespoons of water. Stir to dissolve and set aside for about 5 minutes to bloom.
In a saucepan over low heat, add the lemon juice, lemon zest, and gelatin mixture. Stir gently until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until they are frothy. Gradually add the powdered erythritol while continuing to whisk until stiff peaks form.
Slowly fold the lemon-gelatin mixture into the whipped cream and yogurt, making sure not to deflate the mixture.
Finally, gently fold the beaten egg whites into the lemon mixture until just combined.
Spoon the lemon mousse into individual serving glasses or ramekins and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
Before serving, garnish with additional lemon zest or a mint sprig for a pop of color.
