🌿 Description

Mediterranean desserts often highlight citrus and yogurt instead of refined sugar and heavy creams. This light treat combines:

Greek yogurt – creamy, protein-rich base
Fresh lemon juice – bright, refreshing flavor
Powdered erythritol or stevia – zero-calorie sweetness

The result is a fluffy, tangy dessert that feels indulgent while staying light.

🧾 Ingredients (Serves 2–3)

1 cup plain Greek yogurt (low-fat or fat-free for fewer calories)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1–2 tablespoons powdered erythritol (or stevia to taste)

Optional (still low-calorie additions):

Lemon zest
Vanilla extract
Fresh mint leaves

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Whisk

In a bowl, whisk Greek yogurt and lemon juice until smooth.

2️⃣ Sweeten

Add powdered erythritol gradually, tasting and adjusting sweetness.

3️⃣ Whip for Fluffiness

Whisk vigorously for 1–2 minutes until light and airy.
(For extra fluffiness, use a hand mixer for 2–3 minutes.)

4️⃣ Chill (Optional)

Refrigerate for 20–30 minutes for a firmer mousse-like texture.

Serve chilled with lemon zest or mint.
