Ingredients (1–2 servings)
- 1 cup (240 g) plain Greek yogurt (0% or 2%)
or thick sugar-free yogurt - 1–2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1–2 tbsp powdered sweetener (erythritol/stevia/monk fruit), to taste
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 2–4 tbsp milk (or almond milk) to adjust thickness (optional)
Optional add-ins
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder (makes it thicker + more filling)
- 1–2 tbsp peanut butter powder (or a small spoon of nut butter)
- 1–2 tbsp chia seeds (for a thicker, more “pudding” texture)
- Dark chocolate shavings (sugar-free) for topping
How to Make It
- Mix the base: In a bowl, add Greek yogurt, cocoa powder, sweetener, vanilla, and salt.
- Whisk until smooth: Mix well until the cocoa fully dissolves and the color becomes even.
- Adjust texture: If it’s too thick, add a little milk (1 tbsp at a time).
- Chill (optional but best): Refrigerate 10–20 minutes for a thicker mousse texture.
- Serve: Top with berries, shaved dark chocolate, or crushed nuts if desired.
Tips for the Best Mousse
- Use thick Greek yogurt for the creamiest result.
- If using protein powder, start with ½ scoop, then adjust sweetness.
- Prefer it “fluffy”? Whisk for 60–90 seconds or use a hand mixer.
Storage
Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Stir before serving.
Nutrition Notes (General)
This mousse is typically:
