CARDAMOM-YOGURT MOUSSE WITH APRICOTS
This yogurt mousse is an exercise in nostalgia for me, evocative of two different memories. The first is recent: cold _lassi_ spiked with cardamom, a favorite drink at Indian restaurants. The musky flavor of cardamom just plays well with the tangy, refreshing taste of yogurt. And so does honey, which brings me to my second memory. My mother often served me and my siblings big bowls of plain yogurt with honey swirled in-it was a favorite summer lunch. I remember how the honey laced the yogurt in thick ropes of sweetness. This is a plain yet comforting dish, the two flavors marrying perfectly. I bring these three tastes together here in this dish, and finish it all off with fresh summer apricots. Top the finished mousse with apricot slices, or get fancy and pipe the chilled, set mousse into apricot halves and garnish with mint.

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.
Tips:
- Use ripe apricots: The riper the apricots, the sweeter and more flavorful your mousse will be.
- Chill your ingredients: Chilling the cream and mascarpone before whipping them will help them whip up lighter and fluffier.
- Don't overbeat the cream: Overbeating the cream will cause it to become grainy.
- Fold in the apricots and mascarpone gently: Folding them in gently will help to prevent the mousse from deflating.
- Chill the mousse before serving: Chilling the mousse for at least 2 hours before serving will help it to set and develop its full flavor.
Conclusion:
Apricot cream mousse is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you are a fan of apricots or not, you are sure to enjoy this mousse.
