Low Carb Strawberry Mousse

Ingredients

• 1 cup Fage Yogurt 2 %
• 1/2 cup low carb powdered sugar (or your favorite powdered low carb sweetener)
• 1 1/4 ounces (25 g) freeze-dried strawberries
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 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

1. 1

   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.

2. 2

   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.

3. 3

   In another small bowl, whip the heavy cream and sweetener until stiff.

4. 4

   Now, whip the contents in the yogurt bowl until the sweetener dissolves. Add 1/3 of the whipped cream and blend on low speed. Put the hand mixer aside.

5. 5

   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.

6. 6

   Again working in thirds, gently fold the whipped egg whites into the low carb strawberry mousse.

7. 7

   Refrigerate for a firmer texture or serve immediately for a softer texture.
