How to Make Vanilla Yogurt Mousse With Fresh Tangerines

  1. Line a sieve with paper towels and place it over a bowl. Pour in 2 cups of Greek yogurt and refrigerate for 8 hours, discarding any accumulated liquid every couple of hours.
  2. After 8 hours, transfer the thickened yogurt to a clean bowl.
  3. In a small bowl, sprinkle 1 teaspoon of unflavored gelatin over 1/4 cup of milk. Let stand for 1 minute to soften.
  4. In a 1-quart saucepan, combine the remaining 3/4 cup of milk, the scraped seeds from 1 vanilla bean pod (reserve the pod), 1/4 cup of sugar, and the zest of 1 tangerine. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Add the vanilla bean pod.
  5. Stir in the softened gelatin mixture until completely dissolved.
  6. Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a metal bowl, discarding the solids.
  7. Place the metal bowl in a larger bowl filled halfway with ice water. Stir frequently until the mixture is completely cool (about 10-15 minutes).
  8. Gradually whisk the cooled milk mixture into the yogurt until well combined.
  9. In a separate bowl, beat 1 cup of heavy cream with an electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form.
  10. Gently fold the whipped cream into the yogurt mixture until fully incorporated.
  11. Cover the mousse and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, folding it gently twice during the first 20 minutes to ensure even setting.
  12. Garnish with fresh tangerine segments and serve with shortbread cookies (optional).
