Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Greek Yogurt (Plain, Non-fat, or 2%)
  • 3 tbsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 2 scoops Protein Powder (Chocolate or Vanilla)
  • 50 g Dark Chocolate (70% or higher) melted
  • 2–3 tbsp Milk (Dairy or Non-Dairy) adjust for consistency
  • 1–2 tbsp Sweetener (Optional) honey, maple syrup, or stevia
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract 
  • 1 pinch Salt nhances the chocolate flavor

Instructions
 

  • 1. Melt the Chocolate Using a Double Boiler:
    Set Up the Double Boiler: Fill a saucepan with about 1 inch of water and bring it to a gentle simmer over low heat. Place a heatproof bowl (such as glass or metal) over the saucepan, ensuring the bottom of the bowl doesn’t touch the water.
    Add Chocolate: Place the dark chocolate chips into the heatproof bowl.
    Melt the Chocolate: Stir occasionally as the chocolate melts, ensuring it doesn’t overheat or scorch. Once fully melted, remove the bowl from the saucepan and allow the chocolate to cool slightly to room temperature.
  • 2. Prepare the Mousse Base:In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, cocoa powder, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
    Add the cooled melted chocolate to the mixture.
  • 3. Whip the Mixture: Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture on medium speed until it becomes smooth and creamy. This process incorporates air, giving the mousse its light and fluffy texture.
  • 4. Chill the Mousse: Transfer the mousse to serving dishes or bowls.
    Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until it reaches a firm consistency.
  • 5. Serve and Garnish: Before serving, garnish with fresh berries, a sprinkle of cocoa powder, or a few chocolate shavings for added flavor and visual appeal.
