When it comes to desserts, the constant search for light and delicious options always leads us to the same dilemma: we want something tasty, but without feeling guilty afterward. This is where the yogurt mousse in Thermomix comes into play, a perfect dessert for those looking for a fresh and healthy touch, but without sacrificing the smoothness and flavor that only a good mousse can offer.
This yogurt mousse is not only easy to prepare, but thanks to Thermomix, you can make it with ease and speed. Ideal for closing a meal or for pairing with coffee in the afternoon, this dessert can be made in a few steps with very common ingredients. And best of all, the creaminess of this mousse will surprise even the most demanding palates.
To enjoy this delicious and light yogurt mousse, you'll need the following ingredients:
500 g of natural yogurt (it can be low-fat if you prefer an even lighter option)
100 g of sugar (you can adjust to taste or use sweetener if you want to cut calories)
300 ml of heavy cream (you can opt for light cream to reduce fat)
5 sheets of gelatin (or 1 teaspoon of powdered gelatin)
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (optional, for an extra flavor boost)
Place the gelatin sheets in a bowl with cold water and let them hydrate for about 5 minutes. If using powdered gelatin, simply follow the package instructions, usually dissolving it in a bit of hot water.
In the Thermomix bowl, add the yogurt and sugar (or sweetener) and mix for 5 seconds at speed 4. You can adjust the sugar quantity to your liking, but the natural yogurt already provides a hint of acidity that will balance out the sweetness perfectly.
Next, pour the heavy cream into the bowl (make sure it’s very cold) and whip for 30 seconds at speed 3.5. The cream should become thick, but not too firm, as it needs to be gently mixed with the yogurt to create a creamy texture.
The hydrated gelatin should be drained and dissolved in 20 seconds at 50°C at speed 2, making sure it’s completely liquid and free of lumps.
Pour the dissolved gelatin into the yogurt and cream mixture and mix everything together at speed 3 for 10 seconds. It’s important to integrate everything well, but without overworking the mixture to maintain the mousse's smoothness.
Pour the mousse mixture into individual cups or a large mold, depending on how you want to serve it.
Let the mousse chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours, although if you can leave it overnight, the result will be even creamier and more delicious.
When serving, you can decorate it with fresh fruit such as strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries, which will add a contrast of color and freshness. If you prefer something more indulgent, a drizzle of honey or a bit of shaved chocolate will also work wonders.
Opting for this yogurt mousse instead of other heavier or more caloric desserts has several advantages. First, yogurt provides protein and probiotics, aiding digestion and improving gut health. Additionally, since it's made with whipped cream and yogurt, it achieves a light yet creamy texture, making it the perfect option for those who want a fresh and smooth finish after a meal.
The yogurt mousse is also very versatile. You can adapt it to your preferences by adding flavors like lemon or coconut, or even make it more sophisticated with a splash of limoncello for an adult twist. Moreover, by making small portions, you can enjoy a delicious dessert without feeling like you've overindulged.
This yogurt mousse in Thermomix is the perfect option for those looking for a delicious, quick, and healthy dessert. It doesn’t require advanced cooking skills, yet the result is so creamy and tasty that everyone will ask for more. And best of all, you can enjoy it without guilt, thanks to its low calorie content and unique freshness.
If you're looking for an easy-to-make dessert that will impress all palates, don't hesitate to try this recipe. Simple, delicious, and healthy!
