Description

A light and airy dessert packed with protein, combining fresh apples and the subtle flavor of tarragon, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium-sized apples (any tart variety such as Granny Smith)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh tarragon leaves (finely chopped)
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain)
  • 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 packet unflavored gelatin (or 1 tablespoon agar-agar for a vegetarian option)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prep the apples: Start by peeling, coring, and chopping your apples into small pieces.
  2. Cook the apples: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the chopped apples, lemon juice, and a splash of water. Cook for about 10 minutes.
  3. Blend it up: Once the apples have cooled slightly, toss them into a blender with Greek yogurt, honey, tarragon, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth.
  4. Prepare the gelatin: In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over 2 tablespoons of cold water and let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom.
  5. Combine everything: Heat the gelatin mixture gently and stir it into the apple mixture until well combined.
  6. Chill: Pour the mousse into serving cups or ramekins and chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or until set.

Notes

For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt and use agar-agar instead of gelatin. Add creativity to garnishes with whipped cream or a sprinkle of nuts.
