How to Make Yogurt Mousse:
- In a bowl mix well yogurt, icing sugar and lemon zest until smooth.
- In another bowl whip heavy cream with a fouet until thick.
- Mix yogurt with whipped cream with a spatula and transfer to the fridge at least for 30’ to cool and set.
How to Make Berries Jam:

Set up:
