Lemon Yogurt Mousse Recipes

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.

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.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, stir pudding and milk and set aside. Beat whipping cream and sugar until peaks form. Add about 1/4 of the whipped cream to the pudding and gently fold it in to lighten it. Fold the remaining whipped cream into pudding and serve in small bowls or cocktail glasses on an underliner plate. Place a few berries on each dessert to garnish and serve a few cookies on the underliner plates.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, mix sugar, cornstarch and salt; whisk in egg yolks and milk until smooth. Whisk in lemon juice until blended; bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Cook and stir until thickened slightly, 2 minutes longer. Stir in lemon zest., Transfer mixture to a bowl. Cover surface with plastic wrap; refrigerate until cold., To serve, in a small bowl, beat cream on high speed until soft peaks form. Fold into lemon mixture. Spoon into serving dishes. If desired, top with additional whipped cream and lemon slices.

Steps:

• Mix the yogurt and sugar in a medium sized bowl,.
• In a different bowl, pour whipping cream in and whisk until it whips up. Make sure it has the same texture as the yogurt.
• In a small bowl, put in hot water and gelatin and mix to dissolve, stir as you pour the gelatin in tso it doesn't clump up.
• Put the hot water and gelatin from step three in the yogurt and stir fast to keep it from clumping up.
• Add the whipped cream from step 2 into the bowl from step 4 and mix. After mixing, pour into 4 glass cups and chill for about an hour.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place a large piece of parchment paper over the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Make sure it is taught, then clip on the rim and cut off the excess parchment paper. Grease the sides.
• Beat egg yolks, warm water and sugar for sponge base in a bowl with an electric mixer until pale and fluffy. Mix in vanilla extract.
• Mix cake flour and baking powder together in a separate bowl. Sift over egg yolk mixture and fold in thoroughly until no lumps remain.
• Beat egg whites and salt in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until stiff peaks form. Fold into the sponge batter using a spatula. Pour into the prepared pan and even out the surface with a spatula or a large knife.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick comes out clean, about 15 minutes. Let cool in the pan for a few minutes, then remove sponge cake from the pan and carefully peel off parchment. Cool on a wire rack.
• Whip heavy cream for filling in a bowl with an electric mixer until stiff. Refrigerate.
• Pour water into a small heat-proof bowl and sprinkle gelatin over top. Set aside.
• Beat Greek yogurt, sugar, and lemon juice in a separate bowl with an electric mixer until sugar is fully dissolved.
• Bring a little bit of water to a bowl in small saucepan. Lower the bowl with the gelatin into the water, making sure no boiling water spills into it. Stir until the gelatin is liquid and fully dissolved. Remove the bowl with the gelatin with kitchen tongs.
• Add 1 tablespoon of the yogurt mixture immediately to the gelatin and stir until completely incorporated. Add 4 to 5 more tablespoons the same way until the gelatin mix is cooled; it should be smooth and not contain any lumps. Transfer the gelatin mixture into the yogurt mixture and beat with an electric mixer until well blended.
• Fold whipped cream into the yogurt mixture until well blended. You may also give it a quick whisk with an electric mixer to blend the two, as long as you don't overmix.
• Cut the sponge cake horizontally into 2 equally thick layers. Grease the sides of the springform pan and place the bottom sponge cake back into it. If the sponge shrunk during baking, push it down gently so it completely fills the pan. Pour the filling into the pan and even it out with a knife or a spatula. Place the second layer on top, with the cut side down. Cover and refrigerate until set, at least 4 hours.
• Remove cake from the refrigerator. Dip a large knife in cold water and run it all around the filling to loosen. Carefully remove the rim. Dust with confectioners' sugar just before serving.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 4. For the shortbread, butter a 20cm shallow cake or tart tin. Whisk the butter and sugar together until pale and well-combined, then fold in both gingers, the pistachios and a pinch of salt. Sift in the flour and knead to a soft dough in the bowl. Tip into the tin and press the mixture into the base in an even layer.
• Bake for 25-30 mins until pale golden and dry-looking. Cut the shortbread into slices or wedges while hot, then leave to cool in the tin - it will firm up as it cools. Sprinkle with the ½ tbsp caster sugar.
• To make the mousse, whip the double cream, lemon zest, lemon curd and yogurt in a bowl with an electric whisk until soft peaks form. Spoon into small serving glasses or ramekins and chill.
• Mash half the raspberries with the icing sugar using a fork, or purée in a small blender along with any defrosting juices to make a coulis. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
• To serve, spoon the coulis over the mousses, garnish with the remaining raspberries and serve with the shortbread wedges alongside.
