Ingredients
  

  • 2 (3 oz) pkgs lime gelatin*
For Lemon Cream Topping:
  • 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp unflavored gelatin
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 (5.3 oz) container Greek yogurt

For the Lemon Cream Topping:

  4. Add mixture to a medium bowl. Combine Greek yogurt and whipped cream. Whisk together mixture until it starts to become smooth and creamy.
  5. Transfer lemon cream mixture to a plastic or piping bag. If mixture is in a plastic bag, cut a small hole on the end of the bag.
  6. Pipe lemon cream mixture on top of each mug to look like foam. Place into refrigerator until ready to serve.
  7. Serve chilled.
