No reviews

Secretly healthier chocolate mousse made with Greek yogurt for a rich creamy dessert that tastes indulgent without the extra guilt.

Ingredients

3 large eggs, separated
3/4 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
1/4 cup light brown sugar
2 tablespoons flour
Pinch of fine sea salt
1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips

Instructions

In a small saucepan, whisk together the egg yolks, Greek yogurt, brown sugar, flour, and sea salt until smooth.
Place the saucepan over low heat and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens slightly.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow it to cool for 2 minutes.
Add the dark chocolate chips and stir until completely melted and smooth.
Set the chocolate mixture aside to cool slightly.
In a stand mixer or large bowl, whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
Slowly drizzle the chocolate mixture into the whipped egg whites, gently folding as you go to avoid deflating the mixture.
Continue folding until fully combined and smooth.
Spoon the mousse evenly into 8 small ramekins or dessert cups.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
Top with whipped cream or chocolate shavings if desired.

Notes

Greek yogurt adds creaminess and protein without changing the flavor.
Fold gently to keep the mousse light and airy.
Use high-quality dark chocolate for the best taste.
Chill overnight for an even richer texture.
Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
