Your Ingredients List
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
- Chocolate shavings or berries for garnish (optional)
My Go-To Equipment
I use a medium bowl, a whisk, and small serving glasses. I also keep a spatula nearby for smooth scooping, and I sometimes borrow ideas from my Greek yogurt bagels notes for texture tips.
The Simple Steps to Follow
- Put the Greek yogurt, cocoa powder, honey or maple syrup, vanilla, and salt in a bowl.
- Whisk the mix until it is smooth and creamy.
- Taste and add a little more sweetener if you want.
- Spoon the mousse into serving dishes.
- Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
- Serve cold with chocolate shavings or berries on top.
Healthy Twists on a Classic
Try using low fat Greek yogurt or a little mashed avocado for extra creaminess. For a lighter brunch pairing, try my healthy Greek yogurt bagels alongside this mousse.
Serving Suggestions From My Table
I love this mousse with fresh berries and a sprinkle of crushed nuts. It also goes well with shortbread or whole grain toast for a playful contrast.
Getting It Just Right
Whisk well to remove lumps and give the mousse a silky feel. Chill time helps flavors set, so do not rush serving. If it is too thick, add a teaspoon of milk to loosen it.
How to Store Leftovers
Keep the mousse in an airtight container in the fridge. It stays good for up to two days. Do not freeze, as the texture will change.
Enjoy Every Moment
I make this when I want a quick treat that still feels homemade. It is simple, rich, and reminds me of small family gatherings.
