Ingredients
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 1/2 cups plain Greek yogurt (preferably full-fat)
- 2 tablespoons cacao or cocoa powder
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Microwave the dark chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted. Let it cool to room temperature.
- In a food processor, combine the Greek yogurt, cooled melted chocolate, cacao powder, and a pinch of salt.
- Blend until smooth and well combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Serve immediately for a soft texture, or refrigerate for a few hours to let it firm up.
- Optional: Top with fresh berries, extra yogurt, or whipped cream before serving.
Notes
- Use vanilla Greek yogurt for a sweeter variation.
- Fold in whipped cream for a lighter texture.
- Chilling improves the consistency if mousse is too thin.
- For deeper chocolate flavor, add a dash of espresso powder.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
