Chicken Farm Baker's Project#12 Low Carb Dessert : Yogurt Mousse and Strawberry Jelly

For the Chicken Farm Bakers' Project of this month, we need something light, ^ ^. As the host of this month (Nok) she wants all of us to find the dessert that make us feel slim.


I have to admit that I don't know much about the low carb diet, but I try to make the dessert that use less sugar than usual.
I end up with this creation, the light dessert with a tangy taste, Yogurt mousse with strawberry jelly. The yogurt mousse, is light and tangy (well, the sugar is needed for the balance of the taste), with a vanilla fragrance, this mousse is getting along well with the strawberry jelly.

The strawberry jelly is tangy too, but with a bit of sweet, and if you love tangy taste I suggest you to double the quantity of the jelly and pour it over the mousse (my mom don't like dessert to be too tangy, so I use only one layer of the jelly).

I think this dessert will serve the purpose of this project, it's refreshing, delicious and don't make you feel heavy ^ ^.

  3. Wow this looks really divine! It looks like it would be really light and savory and just all around delicious! You are a really inspiring chef you know!

    I did something similar to this once with different colored gelatins in rainbow form topped with citrusy for my tea party, but I like this idea much much better! I will have to try this out right away and hopefully your dish will make a splash at the party this Sunday! Thanks so much ♥
