- ½ tsp vanilla
- 2 cups ice cubes

Frozen Lemon Mousse
Ingredients
- 8 egg whites, divided
- ½ cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup splenda no-calorie sweetener, divided
- 1 ½ Tbsp grated lemon zest
- 1/8 tsp cream of tartar
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1 cup evaporated skim milk
- ½ cup fat-free plain yogurt
Instructions
Combine 4 egg whites with fresh lemon juice, 1/4 cup splenda, and lemon zest. Let stand at room temperature. Meanwhile, beat remaining egg whites until foamy. Add cream of tartar and salt, and beat until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 3/4 cup splenda, beating constantly until stiff and glossy. Beat evaporated milk and yogurt in separate bowl, then fold carefully into lemon juice mixture, alternating with cream of tartar mixture. Gently spoon into freezer-safe container or baking pan, cover with tinfoil, and freeze overnight. Let mousse soften in refrigerator 30-45 minutes prior to serving.
Frozen Mango Mousse
Ingredients
- 1 large extra-ripe mango
- 1 ½ cups skim milk, divided
- 2 Tbsp splenda no-calorie sweetener
- juice of 1 lime
Instructions
Peel mango and cut into 1-inch pieces. Arrange on baking sheet so no pieces touch. Meanwhile, pour 1 1/4 cups milk into shallow pan. Freeze milk and mango overnight. When ready to serve, break frozen milk into chunks and spoon into food processor or blender. Add remaining milk, splenda, lime juice, and mango, and blend well until smooth, stopping periodically to scrape sides of processor as needed. Spoon into clear ramekins or goblets and serve immediately.

Refrigerate until cooled and slightly thickened, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, add cottage cheese to processor and pulse until smooth and stiff. Stir in 1/4 of melon puree, then fold in the remainder. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Gently fold once more prior to serving.
