Ingredients

2/3 cup dark chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups plain Greek yogurt (2% recommended)
2 tablespoons cacao or cocoa powder
Pinch of salt

Instructions

Step 1: Microwave chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until fully melted. Let the chocolate cool to room temperature.
Step 2: In a food processor, combine the Greek yogurt, melted chocolate, cacao powder, and a pinch of salt. Blend gently until everything is well combined, being careful not to overmix to avoid a watery texture.
Step 3: Serve the mousse immediately, or refrigerate for up to 5 days to allow it to thicken. When ready to enjoy, top with a dollop of yogurt, whipped cream, or Greek yogurt whipped cream, and fresh berries like raspberries or strawberries.

Tips & Variations

Use high-quality dark chocolate chips for the best flavor and texture.
For an extra creamy mousse, fold in whipped cream or Greek yogurt whipped cream just before serving.
Add a splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon for a subtle twist.
Swap cacao powder for instant espresso powder to deepen the chocolate flavor.

Storage

Store the mousse in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. It thickens as it chills, so consider warming slightly at room temperature or adding a splash of milk before serving if you prefer a softer texture.

How to Serve

FAQs

Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

Greek yogurt is preferred because of its thicker texture and higher protein content, which gives the mousse a creamy consistency. Regular yogurt can be used but may result in a thinner mousse.

Can I make this mousse dairy-free?

Yes, substitute the Greek yogurt with a thick plant-based yogurt like coconut or almond yogurt to keep it dairy-free. Make sure the chocolate chips are also dairy-free.

Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Mixture

2/3 cup dark chocolate chips

Mousse Base

1 1/2 cups plain Greek yogurt (2% fat preferred)
2 Tbsp cacao or cocoa powder
Pinch of salt

Instructions

Melt the Chocolate: Microwave the dark chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each interval until completely melted. Allow the melted chocolate to cool to room temperature before proceeding.
Blend the Mousse: In a food processor, combine the Greek yogurt, cooled melted chocolate, cacao powder, and a pinch of salt. Blend just until all ingredients are well combined, being careful not to overmix to avoid a watery texture.
Serve or Chill: Enjoy the mousse immediately as a creamy chocolate treat, or refrigerate for up to 5 days. Chilling will thicken the mousse. When ready to serve, top with a dollop of plain yogurt, whipped cream or Greek yogurt whipped cream, and fresh fruit like raspberries or strawberries for added flavor and presentation.

Notes

Using 2% fat Greek yogurt balances creaminess and lightness, but full-fat or non-fat yogurt can be used depending on preference.
Cooling the melted chocolate before blending is essential to prevent curdling or a watery mixture.
This mousse keeps well refrigerated for up to 5 days in an airtight container.
For an extra indulgent touch, add a sprinkle of shaved chocolate or a drizzle of honey on top before serving.
Use good quality dark chocolate for the richest flavor.
