Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams plain Greek yogurt (unsweetened)
- 200 ml heavy cream
- 50 grams powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon gelatin powder
- 2 tablespoons cold water
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional, for flavor)
- 100 grams fresh fruits (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over cold water and let it bloom for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. If desired, add the lemon zest for extra flavor.
Gently heat the bloomed gelatin mixture in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or carefully warm it over low heat on the stove until completely dissolved. Let it cool for 2-3 minutes, but do not let it set.
Whisk the gelatin mixture into the yogurt mixture until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk the heavy cream until it reaches soft peaks. Be careful not to overwhip.
Carefully fold the whipped cream into the yogurt mixture in three batches, using a spatula to keep the mixture light and airy.
Divide the yogurt mousse into serving glasses or ramekins, smoothing the tops with a spoon if needed.
Cover the glasses with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours, or until the mousse is set.
Before serving, garnish each mousse cup with fresh fruits, additional lemon zest, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar if desired.
