Ingredients
- 1 sachet unflavoured powdered gelatine (Knox)
- 8 oz fat free greek yogurt (250 grams)
- 8 oz fat free cream cheese (250 grams)
- 1 tablespoon instant coffee
- 4 egg whites
- a pinch of salt
- sweetener to taste
Yogurt and cream cheese mustn't be cold: take them out of the fridge at least 10-15 minutes before cooking this recipe
Directions
- In a small bowl sprinkle the gelatine over 3 tablespoons of cold water. Leave to soak for 5 minutes. Add 1/4 cup of boiling water and stir until gelatine has completely dissolved. Let cool down slightly.
- In a medium bowl combine yogurt, cream cheese and instant coffee until smooth. Add sweetener to taste.
- Take a tablespoon of the yogurt and cheese and mix it with the gelatine. Stir and add another tablespoon. Do this a couple of times before adding the rest of the yogurt and cheese mixture, to avoid gelatine lumps.
- In a clean, dry bowl and using clean beaters, whisk the egg whites with a small pinch of salt until they form stiff peaks
- Using a large, metal spoon, fold the egg whites into the cream (it's easier if you take 1/3 of the egg whites at a time, folding carefully before adding the next third)
- Divide the mixture equally between some dessert glasses, ramequins, expresso cups... Refrigerate for at least 4 to 5 hours before serving.
¡Enjoy!
Some Tips
Change the flavour
- using cocoa powder instead of instant coffe
- adding food flavourings or
- using sugar free jello instead of unflavoured gelatine.
Spicy Pumpking Latte Mousse
8 oz canned pumpkin puree + 8 oz of fat free cream cheese + vanilla extract, instant coffe and pumpkin pie spices (same amount of gelatine and egg whites)
Just in case...
"Folding is a method used to incorporate more air into the mixtures. In order to fold, you need a spatula or a spoon. Carefully pour mixture A into mixture B a little at a time. Take the spatula, scrape the bottom of the bowl, and take mixture B and "fold" it over the other mixture. Do not simply stir, as that would dispel the air. Continue to scrape the bottom of the bowl and flop the mixture A over mixture B until well combined!"
