Ingredients
  

2 cups full-fat Greek yogurt for a rich and creamy texture

1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice, preferably from juicy oranges

Zest of 1 lemon for a bright, aromatic flavor

Zest of 1 lime to add zest and vibrancy

1/4 cup honey (or to taste), adjusting for sweetness preference

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract for depth of flavor

1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled for better whipping

1/4 teaspoon salt to enhance sweetness

Fresh mint leaves, for a fresh and fragrant garnish

Segments of orange, lemon, and lime for a colorful presentation

Instructions
 

Combine Yogurt Mixture: In a spacious mixing bowl, thoughtfully combine the Greek yogurt, freshly squeezed orange juice, lemon zest, lime zest, honey, and vanilla extract. Using a whisk, gently blend the mixture until smooth and homogenous. Take a moment to taste and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey if desired.

    Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, pour in the heavy whipping cream and sprinkle it with salt. Utilizing an electric mixer set to medium-high speed, whip the cream until stiff peaks form, which should take about 3-5 minutes. Be cautious not to overbeat, as this can affect the texture.

      Fold Together: Carefully fold the whipped cream into the yogurt mixture in three increments. Using a rubber spatula, gently incorporate the whipped cream, ensuring you do not deflate it. The final mixture should appear light, fluffy, and airy, reminiscent of clouds.

        Chill: Portion the airy yogurt mixture into individual serving cups or elegant bowls. Cover each with plastic wrap and place them in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to mingle and the texture to firm up perfectly.

          Serve: Once chilled, remove the yogurt clouds from the refrigerator. Elegantly garnish each serving with fresh mint leaves and a mix of citrus segments for a beautiful and flavorful touch. Delight in this light and refreshing dessert that both looks and tastes exquisite!
