Lemon-Mint Probiotic Yogurt Mousse

This isn't just flavored yogurt; it's a functional dessert. The citric acid slightly coagulates the yogurt proteins, creating a thicker, mousse-like texture without using heavy cream. The cooling effect of mint and the probiotics ensure easy digestion.

Instructions

1

Whisk the cold yogurt until smooth with honey and vanilla.

Tip: Ensure the honey isn't hot, so it doesn't kill the yogurt cultures.
2

Grate in the lemon zest, then slowly drizzle in the juice while stirring constantly.

Tip: You'll see the yogurt become creamier and thicker due to the acid.
3

Slice the mint into very thin strips (chiffonade) and fold into the cream.

Tip: Don't chop it too finely or crush it, or it will turn brown from oxidation.
4

If using extra probiotics, stir the powder in now.

Tip: Heat would destroy them, which is why we work cold.
5

Serve immediately, or chill for an even thicker consistency.

Tip: Most refreshing when served ice cold.

Recipe FAQ

My yogurt curdled (became grainy).
You added the lemon juice too quickly or used too much. Full-fat Greek yogurt is more stable.
When should I add the probiotic powder?
Always at the very end, into the cold mixture, to keep the bacteria alive.
