Description

This Whipped Greek Yogurt Chocolate Mousse is a light and creamy dessert made with rich dark chocolate and protein-packed Greek yogurt. It’s an easy, no-bake treat that blends the smoothness of melted dark chocolate with the tangy creaminess of Greek yogurt, enhanced by a touch of cocoa powder and salt. Perfect for a healthier chocolate fix, this mousse can be served immediately or chilled to thicken for a more decadent texture.


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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
