Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Lemon Cream Puffs
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs and mix with melted butter. Press into the bottoms of silicone molds.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together lemon Greek yogurt and heavy cream until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. Spoon the mousse over the crust in the molds.
  3. Pipe lemon curd into the center of each mousse-filled mold, creating a small well to enhance the flavor.
  4. Melt the white chocolate and mix in yellow food coloring. Pour this glossy coating over the mousse-filled molds and let excess drip off.
  5. Transfer the molds to the freezer for at least 4 hours until completely set.
  6. Once frozen, gently remove from molds. Let them sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving.
