Print Recipe

A rich and creamy chocolate mousse made with Greek yogurt for a high-protein, healthier dessert option that is quick and easy to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
  • 1/4 cup (25 g) unsweetened Dutch-processed cocoa powder
  • 3 tablespoons (60 ml) honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
  • 2 oz (55 g) dark chocolate chips or chopped chocolate (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2 g) espresso powder (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Chopped nuts or fresh berries for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Gather your ingredients: Greek yogurt, cocoa powder, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, dark chocolate chips (optional), espresso powder (optional), and a pinch of salt.
  2. Sift the cocoa powder and espresso powder into the Greek yogurt to prevent lumps and ensure a smooth mousse.
  3. Mix the ingredients using an electric mixer or whisk until fully combined and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add the honey and vanilla extract, then mix again until evenly incorporated. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
  5. Fold in the dark chocolate chips gently with a spatula for texture contrast, or melt and swirl them in for a smooth mousse.
  6. Spoon the mixture into serving dishes or ramekins, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let flavors meld and mousse firm up.
  7. Serve chilled, garnished with chopped nuts, a sprinkle of cocoa, or fresh berries if desired.

Notes

If mousse is too thick after chilling, stir in a tablespoon of milk or cream to loosen. If too thin, add more Greek yogurt or chill longer. Espresso powder is optional but adds depth. Mousse keeps well in fridge up to 3 days. Freezing not recommended. For vegan version, use coconut yogurt, maple syrup, and vegan dark chocolate.
