Ingredients

• 100 ml Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
• 240 grams Greek yogurt
• 240 ml Heavy cream
• 2 Egg whites
• 60 grams Powdered Erythritol
• 1 teaspoon Gelatin powder
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine gelatin powder with 2 tablespoons of water. Stir to dissolve and set aside for about 5 minutes to bloom.

Step 2

In a saucepan over low heat, add the lemon juice, lemon zest, and gelatin mixture. Stir gently until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until they are frothy. Gradually add the powdered erythritol while continuing to whisk until stiff peaks form.

Step 5

Slowly fold the lemon-gelatin mixture into the whipped cream and yogurt, making sure not to deflate the mixture.

Step 6

Finally, gently fold the beaten egg whites into the lemon mixture until just combined.

Step 7

Spoon the lemon mousse into individual serving glasses or ramekins and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.

Step 8

Before serving, garnish with additional lemon zest or a mint sprig for a pop of color.
