Ingredients for Apricot Mousse
- Dried Apricot
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 8 oz low-fat cottage cheese
- Nonfat Plain Yogurt
- Unflavored Gelatin
How to Make Apricot Mousse
- Place apricots in a heatproof bowl and pour 1/2 cup boiling water over them. Let stand for 1 hour, or until softened.
- Drain the apricots, reserving the soaking liquid. Place the drained apricots in a blender.
- Add honey to the blender and blend until completely smooth. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over 2 tablespoons cold water. Let it bloom for 5 minutes.
- Place the saucepan over low heat and stir constantly until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Remove from heat.
- In a separate bowl, combine cottage cheese and Greek yogurt. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually pour the dissolved gelatin into the yogurt mixture, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
- Gently fold in the apricot puree until evenly distributed.
- Pour the mousse into individual serving dishes or a large bowl.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until set.
- Garnish with fresh apricot halves (optional) and enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
