Whipped Greek Yogurt Chocolate Mousse
This light yet rich chocolate mousse uses Greek yogurt for a creamy texture with a tangy twist. Quick, protein-packed, and deeply chocolatey, it’s a healthier dessert you’ll want to make on repeat.

Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2/3 cup dark chocolate chips melted, slightly cooled
- 1.5 cups plain Greek yogurt (2%) full-fat for best texture
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder or cacao powder for extra depth
- pinch of salt balances sweetness
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Let cool to room temperature.

- Blend until smooth, glossy, and fully incorporated. Avoid overmixing.

Notes
For a dairy-free version, use coconut or almond Greek-style yogurt and dairy-free chocolate chips. You can also stir in a splash of vanilla extract or maple syrup to taste before chilling.
