Secretly Healthy Lemon Turmeric Mousse

Hey girl heyyyyy! I had so much fun shooting this recipe with my girlfriend Brett. We caught up, swapped stories of our daughters, and obviously “sampled” these adorable little mousse cups. I mean, it is 10am on a Friday, mousse is better than mimosas.  Wait…is it?

Ingredients
  

  • 3 extra-large whole eggs
  • 3 extra-large eggs, separated
  • 1 cup  granulated Swerve
  • 2 tsp grated lemon zest
  • ½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (4 lemons)
  • ¾ cup  plain non-fat greek yogurt
  • pinch salt
  • ½ cup good bottled lemon curd, at room temperature
  • ½ tsp turmeric
  • Sliced lemon, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • In a large heat-proof bowl, whisk together the 3 egg yolks, 3 whole eggs, 1 cup Swerve, the lemon zest, lemon juice, turmeric, and a pinch of sea salt. Place the bowl over a pan of simmering water, and over medium heat, continually stir with a wooden spoon for about 10 minutes until the mixture is thick like pudding. 
  • Consider changing to a whisk when the mixture starts to thicken. 
  • Take off the heat and set aside for 15 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours, until completely chilled.
  • In a standing mixer, whip on high 1/2 the egg whites and a pinch of salt with the whisk attachment. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and continue to beat until the whites are stiff and shiny. 
  • Carefully fold the beaten whites into the cold lemon mixture with a rubber spatula. 
  • In the same electric mixer (you do not have to clean it out) place the yogurt and beat on high speed until the yogurt forms peaks or has a whipped texture. 
  • Carefully fold the yogurt into the lemon mixture. 
  • Fold in the lemon curd. 
  • Chill, decorate with lemon slices, and serve cold.
