Description
This Whipped Greek Yogurt Chocolate Mousse is a light and creamy dessert made with rich dark chocolate and protein-packed Greek yogurt.

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
- 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.
