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)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over cold water and let it bloom for 5 minutes.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Whisk the gelatin mixture into the yogurt mixture until fully combined.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk the heavy cream until it reaches soft peaks. Be careful not to overwhip.

Step 6

Carefully fold the whipped cream into the yogurt mixture in three batches, using a spatula to keep the mixture light and airy.

Step 7

Divide the yogurt mousse into serving glasses or ramekins, smoothing the tops with a spoon if needed.

Step 8

Cover the glasses with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours, or until the mousse is set.

Step 9

Before serving, garnish each mousse cup with fresh fruits, additional lemon zest, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar if desired.
