Step-by-Step Instructions

  2. In a large bowl, whip lemon Greek yogurt until smooth. Dissolve gelatin in a saucepan, then fold it into yogurt. Add lemon curd and mix until smooth.
  3. Remove crusts from molds, spoon lemon mousse into each, leaving a well in the center for lemon curd. Add a dollop of lemon curd to each well.
  4. Melt white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Dip each pastry into melted chocolate, coating evenly. Place on a wire rack to set.
  5. Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a week. Thaw in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving.
