1. Whip the Cream:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the chilled heavy cream with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. This will take about 3-4 minutes. Be careful not to over-whip.
2. Add the Yogurt and Sweetener:
- Gently fold the Greek yogurt into the whipped cream. Add the honey or maple syrup to taste and mix until well combined.
3. Add Lime Juice and Zest:
- Stir in the fresh lime juice and lime zest (if using). This will give the mousse its bright, tangy flavor.
4. Chill the Mousse:
- Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or bowls and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until it firms up a bit and is chilled through.
5. Serve:
- Once chilled, serve the lime mousse as-is or garnish with extra lime zest or a slice of lime.
Tips:
- Consistency: For a firmer mousse, you can refrigerate it for a bit longer. It will firm up as it chills.
- Sweetener Variations: If you prefer a different sweetener, feel free to use agave, stevia, or a sugar substitute of your choice.
- Extra Flavor: You can add a touch of vanilla extract to complement the lime flavor.
This Lime Mousse is the perfect simple, creamy, and refreshing dessert with no added sugar. It’s a great option for a light dessert after a rich meal or whenever you’re craving something sweet yet refreshing!
