Lemon Yogurt Mousse Non Fat Recipes

LEMON-YOGURT MOUSSE

Steps:

• Whisk 2 egg whites, 1/4 cup sugar and a pinch of salt in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water until the sugar dissolves. Remove the bowl; beat with a mixer until stiff peaks form. Whisk 1 1/2 cups low-fat Greek yogurt, 1 teaspoon lemon zest and 1 tablespoon lemon juice in a separate bowl; fold in the egg whites. Chill 2 hours. Serve with crumbled shortbread cookies.

LEMON YOGURT MOUSSE (NON FAT)

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, quickly whisk together the yogurt, lemon zest, lemon juice and vanilla. (Do not strain the yogurt as the whey helps maintain the right consistency and flavor.).
• Place the gelatin in a small bowl and add the warm water. Allow this to sit so that the gelatin gets dissolved.
• To prepare the meringue, create a double boiler using a saucepan and bowl that will set securely over the pan. Fill saucepan half way with water and bring to boil over medium heat. Combine egg whites, salt, and sugar in the bowl which will become the top portion of the double boiler . Mix the eggs, salt and sugar a bit until mixed. Place the egg whites onto the bottom of the boiler or saucepan with water. Whisk the egg whites until light, fluffy and foamy and the sugar is fully dissolved. Fold in the dissolved gelatin from step 2.
• Remove the bowl from the heat and whisk with an electric mixer (using the proper attachment if you have it). Whip the egg mixture until the eggs are cooled, using the sides of the bowl as your gauge. Be careful not to overmix or the eggs mixed with the gelatin will coagulate.
• Quickly pour the yogurt into the eggs in a stream, folding the two mixtures together. Again, if you fold too slowly the mix will begin to thicken too early.
• Divide the mousse into eight serving bowls or glasses. Cover each with plastic wrap and place in the icebox until you are ready to serve.
• Note: This can be made up to a day ahead of serving.

FAT-FREE LEMON MOUSSE

Steps:

• Pour 2 tablespoons water into small saucepan; sprinkle gelatin over. Let stand until gelatin softens, about 10 minutes. Stir over very low heat just until gelatin dissolves, about 1 minute. Stir in fat-free half and half, 2 tablespoons sugar, and grated lemon peel. Stir over very low heat until sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes (do not boil). Transfer gelatin mixture to large bowl. Set bowl in another large bowl filled halfway with ice water; stir until mixture is cool, about 5 minutes.
• Using electric mixer, beat egg whites with cream of tartar in medium bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually add 2 tablespoons sugar and beat until stiff but not dry. Fold egg whites into gelatin mixture. Divide mousse among 4 wineglasses. Chill until mousse is softly set, at least 4 hours and up to 1 day. Serve mousse cold.

LEMON YOGURT MOUSSE - COOKS ILLUSTRATED - WEIGHT WATCHER FRIENDL

Steps:

• Berry Sauce: Bring the blueberries, sugar, water and the salt to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cook until the sugar is dissolved and the fruit is heated through, 2 - 4 minutes.
• Transfer the mixture to a blender and puree until smooth, about 20 seconds. Strain the puree through a fine mesh strainer, pressing on the solids to extract as much puree as possible (you should have about 1/2 cup). Spoon the sauce evenly into 6 - 4 ounce ramekins and refrigerate until chilled, about 20 minutes.
• Mouse: Pour the water into a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin evenly over the tops and set aside to let the gelatin hydrate for 10 minutes. In a separate bowl, whisk the yogurt, heavy cream, lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla and salt together until smooth.
• Whisk the egg whites, sugar and cream of tartar together in a large bowl (or the bowl of a stand mixer) Set the bowl over a large saucepan of barely simmering water, making sure the water does not touch the bottom of the bowl. Heat the mixture, whisking constantly, until it has trippeled in size and registers about 160 degrees on an instant read thermometer, 5 - 10 minutes.
• Protecting the hands, take the bowl off the heat, quickly whisk in the hydrated gelatin until melted. Whip the warm mixture with an electric mixer on medium high speed until it forms stiff, shiny peaks, 4 - 6 minutes. Add the yogurt mixture and continue to whip until just combined, 30 - 60 seconds.
• Divide the mousse evenly amoung the chilled ramekins containing the blueberry sauce, cover tightly with plastic wrap and chill until set, 6 - 8 hours. Serve chilled.
