Ingredients:
– 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 2 tbsp. powdered gelatin
– 1/4 cup water
– 1 tsp. vanilla extract
– Fresh fruit or berries (optional)
Instructions:
1. In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the water and let it sit for a few minutes until it’s fully absorbed.
2. In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream and sugar over medium heat. Whisk until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is hot but not boiling. Remove from heat.
3. Add the gelatin mixture to the hot cream mixture and whisk until the gelatin has fully dissolved.
4. In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract until smooth.
5. Slowly pour the hot cream mixture into the yogurt mixture, whisking constantly until it’s well combined and smooth.
6. Divide the mixture evenly among four glasses or cups. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
7. Before serving, top with fresh fruit or berries if desired.
This Greek yogurt mousse is incredibly easy to make, and the result is a light and delicate dessert that’s perfect for any occasion. The sweetness of the sugar and the cream is balanced perfectly by the tartness of the yogurt, and the addition of the gelatin gives the mousse a lovely silky texture.
If you’re looking for a healthier alternative, you can always use a sugar substitute, and replace the heavy cream with coconut cream or whipped aquafaba (the liquid from a can of chickpeas). You can also experiment with different flavors by adding cocoa powder, matcha powder, or your favorite extracts.
Greek yogurt mousse is a great way to indulge your sweet tooth while still keeping it healthy. It’s packed with protein, low in sugar, and can be easily customized to suit your taste preferences. Plus, it’s a dessert that’s fancy enough for a dinner party but simple enough for a weeknight treat.
So go ahead, give it a try. You won’t be disappointed!
