Ingredients:

2 tbsp gelatin powder
30g
3 egg whites
100g
2 tbsp sugar
30g
1/3 cup greek yogurt
72g
2 cups strawberries
320g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Gelatin:
- In a small bowl, dissolve the gelatin powder in 1/4 cup of cold water. Allow it to sit and bloom for about 5 minutes.
- Once bloomed, heat the mixture in the microwave or over a double boiler until the gelatin is fully dissolved. Set aside to cool slightly.
2. Puree the Strawberries:
- In a blender or food processor, puree the strawberries until smooth.
- Optional: For a smoother mousse, you may strain the strawberry puree through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds.
3. Mix Strawberry Puree and Yogurt:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberry puree with the Greek yogurt. Mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the dissolved gelatin to the strawberry-yogurt mixture while stirring continuously. Ensure the gelatin is evenly incorporated.
4. Beat the Egg Whites:
- In a clean, dry mixing bowl, beat the egg whites using an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add the sugar, one tablespoon at a time, while continuing to beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
5. Combine Mixtures:
- Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the strawberry-yogurt mixture. Do this in two or three additions, using a spatula to fold in carefully to keep the mixture light and airy.
6. Chill the Mousse:
- Spoon the mousse into individual serving dishes or into a large serving bowl.
- Refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or until the mousse is set and firm.
7. Serve:
- Before serving, you may garnish with fresh strawberry slices or a dollop of extra Greek yogurt if desired.
- Enjoy your refreshing, low-fat strawberry mousse!

Tips:

- Ensure your gelatin powder is completely dissolved to avoid a grainy texture in the mousse.

- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and natural sweetness.

- Make sure the egg whites are at room temperature for optimal volume when beating.

- Fold the ingredients gently to maintain the airy texture of the mousse.

- Chill the mousse for at least 2 hours to allow it to set properly before serving.

With just a few simple ingredients and minimal effort, you can whip up a beautifully airy and delicious Low-Fat Strawberry Mousse. This dessert is not only visually appealing, but also a healthier option for those who are mindful of their diet. Enjoy this refreshing treat and savor the delightful blend of strawberries and yogurt in every bite.
