Ingredients
  

2 cups Greek yogurt (full-fat for creaminess)

Zest of 1 orange

Zest of 1 lemon

¼ cup honey (adjust according to sweetness preference)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup heavy cream

1 tablespoon powdered sugar

½ teaspoon sea salt

Citrus segments (orange, grapefruit, lemon) for garnish

Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare Your Citrus Zest: Begin by zesting the orange and lemon. Use a microplane to get fine zest, avoiding the bitter white pith.

    Mix the Yogurt Base: In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, citrus zests, honey, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust the sweetness if necessary.

      Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, pour in the heavy cream. Using an electric mixer, whip the cream on medium-high speed until it forms soft peaks. This should take about 3-5 minutes.

        Fold the Ingredients: Gently fold the whipped cream into the yogurt mixture using a rubber spatula. Be careful not to deflate the air in the whipped cream; you want to retain a light and airy texture.

          Add Sea Salt: Sprinkle in the sea salt and fold gently to combine. This little addition enhances the flavors beautifully.

            Chill and Set: Spoon the airy mixture into individual serving cups or glasses. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up slightly.

              Garnish and Serve: Before serving, garnish each cloud with fresh citrus segments and mint leaves for a vibrant presentation.

                Enjoy your creation: Serve your Airy Citrus Yogurt Clouds as a refreshing dessert or a light breakfast treat.
