Orange Yogurt Mousse Recipe

Orange Yogurt Mousse Recipe

  • 1/4 cup navel orange juice
  • 1 navel orange, zested
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 (.25 ounce) envelope unflavored gelatin
  • 1 (32 ounce) container plain low-fat yogurt
  • 1/4 cup shelled pistachios, chopped
  • Additional navel orange zest for garnish (optional)
  1. In a saucepan, combine orange zest, 1/2 cup cream, sugar, and salt over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, until sugar has dissolved, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, cover, and let steep 20 minutes.
  2. Pour orange juice into a medium bowl; sprinkle with gelatin and let soften, 5 minutes. Bring cream and sugar mixture to a simmer again; pour through a fine-mesh sieve onto gelatin, pressing on zest to extract flavor. Discard zest. Whisk until gelatin has dissolved, about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in yogurt. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes, or use quick-chill method (see note, below).
  3. In a medium bowl, with an electric mixer, beat remaining 1 cup cream until soft peaks form. Fold gently into yogurt mixture. Divide among 6 glasses, and cover each with plastic wrap; refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight. To serve, sprinkle with pistachios and, if desired, orange zest.
