I absolutely love dessert. There have been days where I’m quite happy to give up a meal and just have a dessert instead. Until recently when I decided to turn my guilt ridden indulgences into something healthier.

I wanted to try out something that was light and easy and with a burst of flavors. Voila and just in time for I received a tray of these gorgeous Kiwifruit  from Zespri.

Here is a great way to enjoy a delicious dessert. It sure is a guilt free option for your indulgences. I’ve used low-fat yogurt (hung for about 4 hours to remove the water).You could even substitute it with some store-bought Greek yogurt. I’ve used just a little bit of cream in this mousse to add some volume.
Some gelatin to bind it as it is a no bake-chilled mousse.

To add to a zing  to this mousse I’ve paired it  with a Rosemary infused Coulis. The bottom of the mousse is layered with the kiwi coulis. You could however even drizzle some on top.
So here you go…A super duper easy recipe for you. Just perfect for summer. And what better way to load up with Vitamin C, folate, Potassium and  fiber that  these lovely  Zespri kiwis are loaded with.
Enjoy and be good to yourself.\
