Light and Creamy Fromage with Fresh Yogurt and Lemon

This yogurt fromage is a light, airy, and elegant dessert with a fresh tang from yogurt and lemon. The combination of Italian-inspired meringue, lightly whipped cream, and creamy yogurt creates a silky-smooth texture with plenty of air and a clean, fresh taste.

The recipe is perfect for modern plated desserts, glass desserts, entremets, or as a base in professional dessert servings.

Its stable structure makes it ideal for both silicone molds and individual portions, where a sharp and uniform result is important.

Ingredients for Yogurt Fromage

- 225 g egg whites

- 150 g sugar

- 325 g cream (1)

- 50 g cream (2)

- 6 sheets gelatine

- 750 g yogurt (preferably full-fat yogurt)

- 50 g lemon juice

How to Make Yogurt Fromage

Step 1 – Prepare the ingredients

Weigh out the yogurt and let it temper slightly at room temperature. Soak the gelatin in cold water for at least 10 minutes.

Step 2 – Whip meringue

Whip egg whites and sugar to a light and stable meringue in a stand mixer.

Step 3 – Whip the cream

Whip the 325 g cream into a light foam. The cream should be soft and airy without being too firm.

Step 4 – Melt the gelatin

Warm the 50 g cream in a small saucepan. Squeeze out excess water from the gelatin and stir it into the warm cream until completely dissolved.

Step 5 – Make the yogurt base

Stir a small amount of yogurt together with the warm cream mixture to temper the mass. Then fold in the rest of the yogurt and season with lemon juice.

Step 6 – Fold in meringue

Gently fold the yogurt base together with the meringue to maintain as much air in the mixture as possible.

Step 7 – Fold in the cream

Finally, fold the lightly whipped cream into the mixture until the fromage is uniform and airy.

Step 8 – Fill molds or containers

Distribute the fromage into silicone molds, dessert glasses, or containers. Fill approximately ⅔ full for a beautiful and uniform result.

Step 9 – Let the fromage set

Refrigerate the fromage until it is completely set and has a stable consistency.

Step 10 – Serving

Serve the fromage cold as is, or use it as an element in modern dessert arrangements with fresh berries, crispy tuiles, or crumble.
