Dutch Yogurt Mousse Dessert
Ingredients
- 4 c plain yogurt or 2 c skyr, which is already drained
- 1 c heavy cream
- ¼ c sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp almond extract
- Fruit or jam to top
Instructions
- Place the yogurt in a collander that is lined with cheesecloth. Allow to drain at least 12 hours, until very thick.
- Transfer the yogurt into a bowl (save the whey for a batch of Honey Whey Bread). Stir until smooth.
- In another bowl, beat the heavy cream to soft peaks. Add the extracts, and gradually add the sugar, continuing to beat until well combined.
- Add a small amount of the whipped cream to the yogurt, and stir in gently, to lighten it. Then transfer the rest of the whipped cream into the yogurt mixture, and gently fold until well combined.
- Serve with fruit topping as desired.
Notes
If you use skyr, you can skip the draining step, and use half the volume.
