In a small bowl, mix the gelatin powder with 2 tablespoons of water and let it bloom for 5 minutes.
While the gelatin is blooming, in a medium bowl, whisk together the non-fat Greek yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Warm the bloomed gelatin in the microwave for 10 seconds or until it is fully dissolved. Let it cool for about 1 minute, then slowly whisk it into the yogurt mixture.
In a clean, dry mixing bowl, beat the egg whites using an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. This will give the mousse its light and airy texture.
Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the yogurt mixture, one-third at a time, being careful not to deflate the air in the egg whites. Continue folding until fully combined and no streaks remain.
Spoon the mousse evenly into 4 individual dessert cups or ramekins. Smooth out the tops with the back of a spoon if needed.
Cover the cups with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the mousse is set and chilled.
Serve cold, optionally garnished with a sprinkle of lemon zest or a fresh mint leaf for decoration.
