Description

A light and refreshing Apple Mousse made with Greek yogurt, grated apples, and whipped cream, subtly sweetened with maple syrup and spiced with cinnamon. This easy-to-make dessert is topped with crushed walnuts for a delightful crunch and chilled for a smooth, creamy texture perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 1/2 tbsp pure maple syrup (or unsweetened apple butter as a substitute)
  • 1 cup grated apple (with skin on, optional)
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp crushed walnuts
  • Sprinkle of cinnamon for garnish

Instructions

  1. Mix Greek Yogurt Mixture: In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, pure maple syrup, ground cinnamon, and pure vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  2. Add Grated Apple: Incorporate the grated apple into the yogurt mixture, stirring thoroughly to evenly distribute the apple throughout.
  3. Whip Heavy Cream: In a separate medium-sized bowl, whip the heavy cream with a mixer or whisk until it reaches soft peaks, meaning the cream holds shape but tip curls back.
  4. Fold Yogurt into Whipped Cream: Gently fold the prepared Greek yogurt and apple mixture into the whipped cream. Fold carefully to maintain the light, airy texture without overmixing.
  5. Serve and Chill: Transfer the combined mousse mixture into small dessert bowls. Top each serving with crushed walnuts and a light sprinkle of cinnamon. Refrigerate the desserts for a minimum of 30 minutes to set and chill before serving.

Notes

  • Use organic apples with the skin on for added fiber and nutrients.
  • Substitute pure maple syrup with unsweetened apple butter to reduce added sugars if preferred.
  • Ensure the heavy cream is cold before whipping for better volume and texture.
  • Do not overmix when folding to keep the mousse light and fluffy.
  • Can be prepared a few hours in advance and stored refrigerated for up to 24 hours for convenience.
