Start by draining the silken tofu and pressing it lightly to remove excess liquid. Pat dry with a paper towel.
In a blender, combine the silken tofu, Greek yogurt, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, honey, and vanilla protein powder.
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
In a clean, dry bowl, add the egg whites and a pinch of salt.
Using an electric mixer, whisk the egg whites on medium speed until soft peaks form.
As you continue to whisk, gradually add the sugar until the egg whites are glossy and form stiff peaks.
Gently fold the blended tofu mixture into the beaten egg whites, being careful not to deflate the egg whites.
Once fully incorporated and smooth, transfer the mousse into serving glasses or bowls.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the mousse to set.
Serve chilled and garnish with additional lemon zest if desired.
