- 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.
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.
