Description

A light, no-bake dessert filled with a creamy lemon mixture, perfect for summer gatherings.


Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup lemon Greek yogurt (or lemon curd mixed with whipped cream)
  • 1 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp lemon extract
  • 1/4 cup lemon curd
  • 1 1/2 cups white chocolate or yellow candy melts
  • Yellow food coloring (if using white chocolate)


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Graham Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Stir until moistened and press into the bottom of your mold cavities to form a crust. Freeze for about 10 minutes to set.
  2. Whip the Cream: Whip the heavy cream to soft peaks, then gently fold in the lemon Greek yogurt, powdered sugar, and lemon extract. Chill for 10-15 minutes.
  3. Melt the Chocolate: Melt white chocolate or yellow candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Add yellow food coloring if using white chocolate.
  4. Coat Your Mold: Use a spoon or pastry brush to coat the inside of each mold cavity with melted chocolate and chill until set.
  5. Fill the Molds: Pipe the creamy lemon mixture into each mold halfway, add lemon curd into the center, then top off with more lemon mousse.
  6. Seal and Freeze: Seal each puff with the graham cracker crust base and freeze for at least 240 minutes until fully set.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Un-mold the puffs and let thaw for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Dust with powdered sugar before serving. Garnish with lemon slices or mint for added freshness.
