Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (225 g) plain unsweetened Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons (10 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 scoop (approximately 30 g) sugar-free chocolate protein powder
Instructions
- Combine the ingredients: Add the Greek yogurt, unsweetened cocoa powder, and chocolate protein powder to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
- Whip until smooth: Using a whisk or electric hand mixer on medium speed, beat the ingredients for 1–2 minutes until completely combined, creamy, and fluffy.
- Divide into portions: Spoon the chocolate mousse evenly into two small dessert glasses or serving bowls.
- Chill: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the mousse to thicken and develop a firmer texture.
- Serve and enjoy: Serve chilled with your favorite sugar-free toppings, such as chocolate shavings, fresh raspberries, or sliced almonds.
Notes
- Protein Powder Options: Whey, casein, or plant-based chocolate protein powder can all be used. Casein generally creates a thicker, pudding-like consistency.
- Adjust the Sweetness: If your protein powder isn’t sweet enough, add 1 tablespoon of monk fruit sweetener or allulose.
- Extra Creaminess: Use full-fat or 2% Greek yogurt for a richer, more indulgent mousse.
- Adjust the Texture: If the mousse is too thick, add 1–2 tablespoons of unsweetened almond milk or regular milk until you reach your desired consistency.
- Dairy-Free Option: Substitute Greek yogurt with unsweetened coconut-based Greek-style yogurt and use plant-based chocolate protein powder.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days.
- Make-Ahead Tip: Prepare individual portions in small jars for convenient meal-prep desserts.
- Serving Suggestions: Top with sugar-free chocolate chips, fresh raspberries, toasted almonds, or sugar-free whipped cream.
