Ingredients

Scale

Graham Cracker Crust:

  • 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tbsp sugar

Lemon Mousse Filling:

  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup lemon Greek yogurt (or lemon curd mixed with whipped cream)
  • 1 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp lemon extract
  • 1/4 cup lemon curd

Coating:

  • 1 1/2 cups white chocolate or yellow candy melts
  • Yellow food coloring (if using white chocolate)

Instructions

  1. Graham Cracker Crust: Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press into the bottom of your mold cavities to form a crust base. Freeze for 10 minutes.
  2. Lemon Mousse Filling: In a bowl, whip heavy cream to soft peaks. Fold in lemon yogurt, powdered sugar, and lemon extract. Chill the mixture for 10–15 minutes.
  3. Coating: Melt the white chocolate or candy melts. Add yellow food coloring if using white chocolate. Coat the inside of each mold cavity evenly using a spoon or brush. Chill until set.
  4. Assembly: Pipe the mousse into each mold cavity halfway. Add a small spoonful of lemon curd to the center. Top with more mousse to fill the mold.
  5. Seal with the graham crust base, pressing gently.
  6. Freeze the molds for at least 4 hours or until fully set.
  7. Unmold and let thaw for 10–15 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For a stronger lemon flavor, increase the amount of lemon extract.
  • Ensure the molds are properly chilled at each step for the best results.
