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.

Ingredients

Fat free cottage cheese

1½ cup(s)

Powdered sugar (confectioner's)

3 Tbsp

Lemon zest

1 Tbsp

Fresh lemon juice

2 Tbsp

Light aerosol whipped cream

¾ cup(s), divided

Graham crackers

2 square(s), crushed

Lemon

2 slice(s), thin, cut in half

Instructions

  1. In a food processor, puree the cottage cheese on high speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Add the sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice; process until well combined. Add ½ cup whipped topping; pulse just until combined. Divide the mixture evenly among 4 small bowls; top each serving with 1 tbsp of the remaining whipped topping. Sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs on top, and top each serving with a piece of lemon.
  2. Serving size: a rounded 1/3 cup
