Preparation Steps
  1. Prepare the Graham Cracker Crust by mixing crushed graham crackers with melted butter and pressing into silicone molds. Chill for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Make the Lemon Mousse by whipping heavy cream to soft peaks, then gently fold in lemon Greek yogurt and lemon curd until smooth.
  3. Fill the molds with the lemon mousse, smoothing tops and tapping to remove air bubbles. Chill for 15-20 minutes.
  4. Melt the white chocolate and dip each pastry after chilling, allowing excess to drip off. Chill for another 30 minutes.
  5. Serve the lemon cream puffs chilled, optionally garnished with fresh berries or mint.
