You can use low-fat Greek yogurt for a lighter version. If you’re looking to cut back on sugar, try using a sugar substitute or make it without any sweetener. You can also add in some peanut butter or almond butter for an extra layer of flavor!
Serving Suggestions From My Table
I love serving this mousse in small, clear cups; it looks beautiful that way! Top it with fresh strawberries or raspberries for a pop of color. You can pair it with a light cookie or a piece of fruit for a lovely dessert spread.
Getting It Just Right
To get the mousse super creamy, make sure to whip it well. If you want a more intense chocolate flavor, feel free to increase the cocoa powder a little. Taste the mixture before chilling to see if it needs more sweetness.
How to Store Leftovers
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container. The mousse will stay fresh for about 2 to 3 days. Just give it a good stir before serving it again!

This Greek Yogurt Chocolate Mousse is perfect for family gatherings or a quiet night in. Share it with loved ones or savor it all to yourself. Every spoonful is a moment of pure joy!
A Few Common Questions

You can use regular yogurt, but it won’t be as thick. You can also try using a dairy-free yogurt if you’re looking for a plant-based option.
How long does the mousse need to chill?
I recommend chilling the mousse for at least 30 minutes. This will help it set properly and enhance the flavors.
