Ingredients

If you don’t have Greek yogurt, you can use mascarpone or crème fraîche for a slightly richer texture. Orange zest can be replaced with lemon zest if you prefer a sharper citrus flavor. If you want the dessert a bit sweeter, simply add more powdered sugar to taste.

Instructions

  1. Pour about half of the cream into a small saucepan and warm it gently over low heat.
  2. Heat until it feels hot but never bubbling or boiling.
  3. Remove from the heat and add the chopped white chocolate and salt.
  4. Tip: Let the chocolate sit for a minute before stirring — it melts smoother this way.
  5. Stir slowly until the mixture becomes glossy, thick, and completely smooth.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk the remaining cold cream just until slightly thickened and soft.
  7. Stir the yogurt, vanilla, powdered sugar, and orange zest into the warm chocolate mixture.
  8. Gently fold in the semi-whipped cream until the texture looks airy and evenly blended.
  9. Spoon the cream into small glasses or dessert cups.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, until softly set and spoonable.
  11. Tip: Serve slightly chilled, not ice-cold — the sweetness and vanilla come through more.
  12. Enjoy as-is or add fruit on top right before serving.

Serving Ideas

A few raspberries on top work really well here, especially with the citrus. If you want a bit of crunch, chopped pistachios are an easy upgrade.
