Ingredients
Scale
Graham Cracker Crust:
- 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tbsp sugar
Lemon Mousse:
- 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
Coating:
- 1 1/2 cups white chocolate or yellow candy melts
- Yellow food coloring (if using white chocolate)
Instructions
- Prepare Graham Cracker Crust: Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press into the bottom of your mold cavities to form a crust base. Freeze for 10 minutes.
- Make Lemon Mousse: In a bowl, whip heavy cream to soft peaks. Fold in lemon yogurt, powdered sugar, and lemon extract. Chill the mixture for 10–15 minutes.
- Coat Molds: Melt the white chocolate or candy melts. Add yellow food coloring if using white chocolate. Coat the inside of each mold cavity evenly using a spoon or brush. Chill until set.
- Fill Molds: Pipe the mousse into each mold cavity halfway. Add a small spoonful of lemon curd to the center. Top with more mousse to fill the mold.
- Seal and Freeze: Seal with the graham crust base, pressing gently. Freeze the molds for at least 4 hours or until fully set.
- Serve: Unmold and let thaw for 10–15 minutes before serving.
Notes
- You can use store-bought lemon curd or make your own for this recipe.
- Ensure the mold cavities are well-chilled before adding the mousse.
- Experiment with different flavor variations for the mousse to suit your taste.
