Lemon Cream Puffs

Delightful and refreshing cream puffs filled with a zesty lemon mousse and a graham cracker crust.

  • Total Time: 270 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 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
  • 1 1/2 cups white chocolate or yellow candy melts
  • Yellow food coloring (if using white chocolate)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until combined. Press this mixture into the bottom of your mold cavities to form a crust base. Freeze for 10 minutes.
  2. While the crust sets, whip the heavy cream until it forms soft peaks. Gently fold in the lemon yogurt, powdered sugar, and lemon extract. Chill the mixture for 10–15 minutes.
  3. Melt the white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave. If using white chocolate, add yellow food coloring for a vibrant touch. Carefully coat the inside of each mold cavity evenly using a spoon or a brush. Chill until set.
  4. Pipe the lemon mousse mixture into each mold cavity halfway. Add a small spoonful of lemon curd in the center and top with more mousse until the molds are filled.
  5. Seal the top of each mold with the graham cracker crust, pressing gently.
  6. Freeze the molds for at least 240 minutes or until they are fully set.
  7. To serve, un-mold the cream puffs and let them thaw for 10–15 minutes at room temperature before serving.

Notes

Serve cold, garnished with fresh lemon slices or whipped cream. Store in the freezer for up to a month.
