In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over 2 tablespoons of cold water. Allow it to sit for 5-7 minutes to bloom.
While the gelatin blooms, in a mixing bowl, use an electric mixer or whisk to beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Add the Greek yogurt, lime juice, lime zest, powdered sweetener, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Mix thoroughly until well combined and smooth.
Once the gelatin has bloomed, heat it gently in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or in a small saucepan over low heat until dissolved. Allow it to cool slightly but not set.
Slowly pour the dissolved gelatin into the lime mixture while stirring continuously to ensure even distribution. Set aside.
In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, using an electric mixer or whisk. Be careful not to over-whip.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the lime mixture, using a spatula, until fully incorporated and fluffy.
Divide the mousse evenly among six small serving glasses or bowls. Smooth the tops if desired.
Refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or until the mousse is set and firm.
Serve chilled, garnished with extra lime zest or a thin lime slice, if desired.
