Strawberry Ricotta Yoghurt Mousse ~Blue Ribbon Challenge


I’m just loving the days with the kids at home and the fact that I don’t have to wake them up, get them ready, deal with the crankiness of my 4 year old while making breakfast for my 8 year old. All the chaos that’s part of a school day is now gone replaced by calm serene mornings, where I can enjoy an extra cup of tea and relax! Summer how I love you J


I'm also enjoying the various blog events that I'm a part of beginning with Blue Ribbon Challenge initiated by Anna oCrunchy Creamy Sweet!!A challenge where all of us make the same dish with our own twists and vote for our favorite.This event will be followed by another exciting one on Sunday!Will keep you posted on that too J


I looked all over the web for inspiration for my mousse recipe and incorporated all my favorite flavors to create a healthy Mousse that I'm sure you're going to love J

The light airy texture of the mousse, with the sweet strawberries and creaminess of the Lemony Ricotta and Greek Yoghurt just makes it a delectable indulgence. The fact that its healthy makes it even more enjoyable J

Strawberry Ricotta Yoghurt Mousse

Ingredients:
Strawberry Jam-1/2 cup
Greek Yoghurt-1 cup
Powdered Sugar-4 tbsp
Low fat Ricotta –1/2 Cup
Egg White-1/2 cup
Lemon Zest-1 tbsp

Process:

In a food processor blend together ricotta and the strawberry jam until smooth. Mix the lemon zest and keep aside in a bowl.
Using a hand mixer whip together the Greek Yoghurt with 3 tbsp. of sugar until creamy.
In another bowl using the hand mixer whip the egg white until foamy and beginning to hold shape. Sprinkle in a tbsp. of sugar and whip until soft peaks begin to form.
Now take the ricotta mixture and gently fold in half of the Greek Yoghurt. Now fold in half of the egg whites into the mix. Gently fold in the rest of the Greek yoghurt followed by the rest of the egg whites until nicely combined.
Your strawberry mousse is ready! Pour the mixture into serving cups or glasses and chill in the refrigerator. Garnish with sliced strawberries and serve!

  1. Perfect mousse and serving it chilled will taste even better. I wish I can get berries over here but suppose I can replace it with maybe our local fruits.

    We will love this now that we are being burned by the humid and hot weather.
