🌿 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.

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
