Ingredients
- 1 cup Fage Yogurt 2 %
- ½ cup low carb powdered sugar or your favorite powdered low carb sweetener
- 1 ¼ ounces (25 g) freeze-dried strawberries
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon stevia glycerite (or more sweetener to taste)1
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 cup heavy cream, whipped stiffly
- 2 tablespoons low carb powdered sugar (or your favorite powdered low carb sweetener)
- 2 large pasteurized egg whites, whipped to stiff peaks
Instructions
- Powder the freeze-dried strawberries in a coffee grinder, in batches and put them into a medium to large size bowl. Add the sweetener, lemon juice, vanilla, stevia glycerite and yogurt and set aside.
- In a small squeaky-clean bowl, whip the egg whites until glossy and stiff. Set aside. There is no need to clean off the beaters.
- In another small bowl, whip the heavy cream and sweetener until stiff.
- Now, whip the contents in the yogurt bowl until the sweetener dissolves. Add ⅓ of the whipped cream and blend on low speed. Put the hand mixer aside.
- Add half of the remaining whipped cream into the yogurt-strawberry mixture and gently fold until incorporated. Add the rest of the whipped cream and fold.
- Again working in thirds, gently fold the whipped egg whites into the low carb strawberry mousse.
- Refrigerate for a firmer texture or serve immediately for a softer texture.
