Ingredients

  • Greek yogurt
  • 35% cream
Step-by-step Guide

Preparation

  • Whip the cream until it reaches a near-whipped cream consistency, ensuring it is firm enough to hold when the whisk is lifted.
  • Once the cream is well whipped, slowly add the yogurt and gently stir using a silicone spatula (also known as a cat's tongue spatula) to prevent the volume from deflating, using folding motions.
  • Allow the mixture to chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, ensuring it is well-refrigerated before serving.
Recommendations & Tricks
  • Calculate the amount of Greek yogurt you wish to use and employ half of that amount in heavy cream with 35% fat to achieve the desired texture.
  • Before whipping the heavy cream, ensure it is very cold. Place it in the freezer for about 10 minutes to ensure it whips correctly.
  • Whip the heavy cream with an electric mixer until it reaches a firm but not too stiff texture, ensuring it holds on a spoon when you turn it.
  • Gradually add the Greek yogurt to the whipped cream, gently folding each time with a rubber spatula to avoid deflating the cream.
  • Once the mixture is homogeneous, distribute the mousse into individual glasses or containers.
  • Cover them with plastic wrap and let them rest in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours so the mousse acquires firmness and consistency.
  • If you want to add an extra touch, you can garnish the mousse with fresh fruit, lemon zest, or a drizzle of honey before serving.
