How to Make Lemon Yogurt Mousse Non Fat

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups non-fat Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  2. In a small bowl, sprinkle 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin over 1/4 cup warm water.
  3. Let the gelatin bloom for 5 minutes until fully dissolved.
  4. Prepare a double boiler: Fill a saucepan halfway with water and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  5. In a heat-safe bowl that fits snugly over the saucepan (without touching the water), whisk together 4 large egg whites, a pinch of salt, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar.
  6. Place the bowl over the simmering water, ensuring the bottom doesn't touch the water.
  7. Whisk constantly until the sugar dissolves and the egg whites are thick, glossy, and hold stiff peaks (about 5-7 minutes).
  8. Remove the bowl from the heat and gently whisk in the dissolved gelatin.
  9. Using an electric mixer on medium speed, whip the egg white mixture until it's cooled slightly and holds its shape.
  10. Gently fold the yogurt mixture into the cooled egg white mixture in three additions, being careful not to deflate the egg whites.
  11. Divide the mousse among eight serving glasses or bowls.
  12. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
  13. Serve chilled, optionally drizzled with raspberry sauce or strawberry coulis.
