Light lemon mousse

Recipe for light lemon mousse

Ingredients · Servings 4
  • 2 egg whites
  • 100 g of sugar
  • 200g of quality natural yogurt
  • The juice of 1 lemon
  • The juice of 1 lime
  • The zest of 1 lime
Method · 1 h 15 min
  1. Whisk the egg whites, adding the sugar in two stages. You will get a firm meringue.
  2. Mix the yogurt and lemon and lime juice in a bowl.
  3. Add the whipped egg whites to the yogurt and juice mixture in the bowl in two stages, using gentle folding motions.
  4. Pipe the mousse into the glasses using a piping bag. This method prevents accidentally dirtying the glasses, but if you don't have one, use a spoon.
  5. Decorate with lime or lemon zest and a few thin strips of lime peel, if you want it to look like the photo.
  6. Store the cups in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
