Ingredients
  

  • 2 (3 oz) pkgs  apricot gelatin* may use peach or orange if apricot isn't available
For Lemon Cream Foam Topping:
  • 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp unflavored gelatin
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 (5.3 oz) container plain Greek yogurt

Method
 

  1. Prepare apricot gelatin according to the package instructions. Fill mugs with apricot gelatin, leaving about 1/2 cup from the top.
  2. Place mugs in the refrigerator for 4 hours or more to allow gelatin to setup.
For Lemon Cream Foam Topping:
  1. After apricot gelatin has setup, remove from refrigerator. Set aside.
  2. In a sauce pan, add fresh lemon juice and unflavored gelatin. Heat mixture for about 30 seconds. Let stand for about a minute and cool down.
  3. Stir in sugar and bring to boil, about 1 minute. Stir lemon gelatin mixture. Turn off heat and let cool.
  4. Add mixture to a medium bowl. Combine plain Greek yogurt and whipped cream. Whisk together mixture until it starts to become smooth and creamy.

  6. Pipe lemon cream mixture on top of each mug to look like foam. Place into refrigerator until ready to serve.
  7. Serve chilled.
