Yogurt Mousse With Apricot Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk 2 egg whites, 1/4 cup sugar and a pinch of salt in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water until the sugar dissolves. Remove the bowl; beat with a mixer until stiff peaks form. Whisk 1 1/2 cups low-fat Greek yogurt, 1 teaspoon lemon zest and 1 tablespoon lemon juice in a separate bowl; fold in the egg whites. Chill 2 hours. Serve with crumbled shortbread cookies.

Steps:

• Make mousse:
• Drain yogurt in a paper-towel-lined sieve set into a bowl in refrigerator, discarding liquid occasionally, 8 hours, then transfer to a clean bowl. Sprinkle gelatin over 1/4 cup milk in a small bowl and let stand 1 minute to soften.
• Scrape seeds from vanilla bean pod into remaining 3/4 cup milk in a 1-quart heavy saucepan, then add pod, sugar, and zest and bring to a simmer over moderate heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Stir in gelatin mixture until dissolved. Pour through a fine-mesh sieve set into a metal bowl, discarding solids, then set bowl in a larger bowl half-filled with ice and cold water and let stand, stirring frequently, until cool, about 10 minutes.
• Add milk mixture gradually to yogurt, whisking. Beat cream with an electric mixer at high speed until it just holds soft peaks, then fold into yogurt mixture gently but thoroughly. Chill mousse, covered, folding twice in first 20 minutes, until set, about 2 hours.
• Make sauce while mousse chills:
• Scrape seeds from vanilla bean pod into a 2-quart heavy saucepan, then add pod, sugar, water, apricots, and 1 teaspoon lemon juice and cook, uncovered, over moderate heat, stirring frequently and skimming off any foam, until fruit is tender, 8 to 12 minutes. Cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Add lemon juice to taste and discard pod. Serve sauce topped with mousse.

Steps:

• Place the apricots in a saucepan with the orange juice and heat gently until boiling. Cover and simmer gently for 3 minutes.
• Cool slightly and then place in a blender or food processor and process until smooth.
• Stir in the yogurt.
• Whisk the egg whites until stiff enough to hold soft peaks and then fold in the apricot mixture.
• Spoon into 4 serving glasses or a large serving dish. Chill before serving.

Steps:

• Pour 1/4 cup (60 ml) water into a small saucepan and sprinkle the gelatin over it. Set aside for 5 minutes to allow the gelatin to soften. Set the pan over medium heat and whisk until the gelatin dissolves. Whisk in the honey and continue warming until the honey has thinned.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer (or in a large bowl, using a hand mixer), whip the egg whites until stiff. Scrape out into a separate bowl. Wipe out the mixing bowl and beat the cream until stiff peaks form. Add the yogurt and whip until combined. Beat in the cardamom and salt, then slowly pour in the warmed honey and gelatin and whip. Use a spatula to gently fold in the egg whites.
• Spread the mousse in six separate cups or in a 1-quart (1-L) dish and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours, until softly set. Serve with slices of fresh apricot, or remove the pits from apricot halves and pipe in dollops of mousse.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine gelatin with 1/4 cup water. Set aside to soften. In a small saucepan, combine apricots with 1 tablespoon sugar and 2 cups water. Place over medium-low heat, and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain well.
• In a food processor, combine apricots and lemon juice. Process until pureed. Add lemon zest and orange zest, and pulse to mix.
• Transfer apricot mixture to a small saucepan, and add gelatin mixture. Place over low heat and stir just until warmed, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in fromage blanc, Grand Marnier and salt. Set aside.
• Using an electric mixer, beat egg whites until foamy. Gradually add 3 remaining tablespoons sugar, and continue beating until stiff but not dry. Fold into apricot puree. Beat 1/2 cup heavy cream into soft peaks, and fold into puree.
• Spoon into parfait glasses or wineglasses. Cover each glass with wax paper. Refrigerate until firm, a few hours or overnight.
• To serve, remove wax paper. If desired, fold 2 tablespoons whipped cream into yogurt and garnish each glass with a spoonful on top.

Steps:

• Place the apricots, orange juice, sugar and cinnamon sticks in a pan, cover and cook gently for about 15 mins, until the apricots are very soft. Remove the cinnamon sticks and set aside to cool.

Steps:

• Put apricots in bowl and cover with boiling water.
• Set aside for 1 hour to soften.
