With an airy-creamy texture and citrus-bright flavor, this quick dessert captures the essence of an indulgent lemon mousse—but is far lighter than traditional versions. The key is fat free cottage cheese. Its flavor is similar to cream cheese, and when whipped in a food processor, it becomes creamy and fluffy. Lemon zest and juice offer sunny notes, and crumbled graham crackers provide some crunchy contrast as well as a further nod toward cheesecake. You can make it up to a day ahead, but hold off on the graham cracker crumbs until shortly before serving so they stay crunchy.
