Ingredients:
- 5 sheets graham crackers, crushed

Instructions:
- Prepare Graham Cracker Base:
- Using a food processor, pulse the graham crackers into crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor, simply place the graham crackers in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
- Divide the crushed graham crackers between 5 dessert cups. Set aside.
- Prepare Cheesecake Mousse:
- In a large bowl using a hand mixer or a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, whip the cream cheese and yogurt together until light and fluffy.
- Add the confectioners’ sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, stevia, and salt. Mix until well incorporated.
- Fold in the whipped topping.
- Assemble and Chill:
- Pipe the cream cheese mixture into the dessert cups evenly.
- Refrigerate for 1 hour or overnight to allow the mousse to set.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Before serving, garnish with additional whipped topping and fresh berries if desired.
- Enjoy the creamy and tangy goodness of Skinny Lemon Cheesecake Mousse!
Notes:
- Stevia: Stevia is optional but adds additional sweetness without extra calories. Adjust sweetness to taste. If you omit stevia, consider adding a couple of extra tablespoons of confectioners’ sugar.
- Storage: Keep the mousse in the refrigerator until ready to serve. It can be made the night before. Garnish right before serving.
