This chilled lemon mousse uses Greek yogurt for the creamy base and sugar-free lemon gelatin for structure. Boiling water dissolves the gelatin; cold water cools it before it is whisked into the yogurt mixture.
Ingredients
- 2 cups non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 packet (0.3 oz) sugar-free lemon-flavored gelatin
- 1/4 cup boiling water
- 1/4 cup cold water
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons zero-calorie sweetener, such as Stevia
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Fat-free whipped topping, for garnish
- Fresh strawberries or blueberries, for garnish (optional)
Prepare the mousse
- Put the gelatin in a heatproof bowl. Add the 1/4 cup boiling water and stir until completely dissolved.
- Stir the 1/4 cup cold water into the gelatin mixture.
- In another bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, lemon zest, lemon juice, sweetener, and optional vanilla.
- Slowly pour the gelatin mixture into the yogurt while whisking continuously.
- Once smooth and evenly combined, divide the mousse among individual cups or glasses.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
Before serving, add a dollop of fat-free whipped topping and fresh berries if desired.
