Ingredients
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Melt Chocolate: Place the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe dish and heat in the microwave, stirring every 20 seconds, until fully melted. This prevents burning and ensures smooth chocolate. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
- Mix Cocoa and Yogurt: In a small bowl, combine the cocoa powder with the Greek yogurt. Stir well until the mixture is evenly blended and smooth.
- Combine with Chocolate: Add the cooled melted chocolate to the cocoa-yogurt mixture. Use an electric mixer to beat the mixture for 2 minutes; this incorporates air to make the mousse light and fluffy.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the mousse until chilled. Serve garnished with optional toppings such as whipped cream, fresh strawberries, or extra chocolate chips for added flavor and texture.
Notes
- Let the melted chocolate cool before mixing with yogurt to prevent curdling.
- Use an electric mixer for best fluffy texture; hand mixing may not achieve the same airiness.
- To make this dessert vegan, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt and use dairy-free chocolate chips.
- Chilling the mousse for at least 30 minutes enhances the texture and flavor.
