Yogurt Mousse with Apricot SauceMartyn Thompson

The sweet and tangy apricot sauce that anchors this dessert is a nod to the spoon sweets — fruit preserves that are eaten from small spoons — traditionally served in Greece to arriving guests.

Cooks' notes:

· You can substitute 1 1/2 cups Greek yogurt for the whole-milk yogurt. (Do not drain Greek yogurt.) · Mousse can be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. · Sauce can be made 3 days ahead and cooled completely, uncovered, then chilled, covered. Bring to room temperature before serving.
