Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon gelatin powder
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 4 pieces fresh tangerines
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for drizzling)
- 4 leaves mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over the cold water. Let it bloom for 5 minutes, until the gelatin absorbs the water.
Warm the bloomed gelatin in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or until fully dissolved. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar. Stir until smooth.
In another bowl, beat the heavy cream with the remaining 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar using a hand mixer or whisk. Continue whipping until soft peaks form.
Slowly stir the dissolved, cooled gelatin into the yogurt mixture, making sure it is fully incorporated.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the yogurt mixture, being careful not to deflate the mousse. Mix until smooth and airy.
Peel and segment the tangerines, removing any seeds and white pith to ensure a clean presentation.
Spoon the yogurt mousse into serving glasses or bowls, layering or topping with fresh tangerine segments.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the mousse to set and flavors to meld.
Optionally, drizzle with honey and garnish with mint leaves before serving for an extra touch of sweetness and freshness.
