Ingredients

• 1 cup Non-fat Greek yogurt
• 0.25 cup Low-fat milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Sweetener (e.g., stevia, erythritol, or granulated sugar)
• 2 large Egg whites
• 0.125 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Gelatin powder (unflavored)
• 2 tablespoons Water (for blooming gelatin)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the unflavored gelatin powder and 2 tablespoons of water. Let it bloom for 5 minutes.

Step 2

While the gelatin is blooming, whisk the non-fat Greek yogurt, low-fat milk, vanilla extract, and sweetener in a medium mixing bowl until smooth and well combined.

Step 3

Heat the bloomed gelatin in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or until completely dissolved, but do not let it boil. Allow it to cool for 1-2 minutes before adding it to the yogurt mixture.

Step 4

Stir the dissolved gelatin into the yogurt mixture, ensuring it is evenly incorporated.

Step 5

In a separate clean and dry bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the egg whites and salt until stiff peaks form. This will make the mousse light and airy.

Step 6

Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the yogurt mixture in three additions. Use a spatula to fold carefully to avoid deflating the egg whites.

Step 7

Once the mixture is smooth and fully combined, divide the mousse into 4 individual serving glasses or bowls.

Step 8

Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the mousse to set and chill.

Step 9

Serve chilled and garnish with fresh fruit, shaved chocolate, or a sprig of mint if desired.
