Greek Yogurt Chocolate Mousse

Greek yogurt, cocoa, and a little honey whip into a tangy chocolate mousse with a lot of protein.

Greek Yogurt Chocolate Mousse

Greek yogurt is thick enough to hold air when whisked. With cocoa and honey it turns into a dark chocolate mousse that is tangy and light. Chilling for half an hour firms it up further.

Ingredients

Makes 1 serving.

  • 1 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
  • ½ scoop chocolate whey protein powder (about 30 g)
  • 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt

Method

  1. Whisk the cocoa and protein powder into the yogurt until smooth.
  2. Add the honey, vanilla, and salt.
  3. Whisk hard for 30 seconds to lighten the texture.
  4. Spoon into a glass and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
