This Greek Yogurt Chocolate Mousse is a rich, creamy, and healthier twist on traditional chocolate mousse, made with dark chocolate, unsweetened Greek yogurt, and naturally sweetened with honey or maple syrup. It’s easy to prepare, requires minimal ingredients, and is perfect as a decadent yet nutritious dessert.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk or cashew milk
  • 6 oz dark chocolate
  • 2 cups full fat unsweetened Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons raw honey or pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

To Garnish

  • Fresh strawberries or raspberries
  • Grated dark chocolate
  • Mint leaves

Instructions

  1. Melt the Chocolate: In a small saucepan, combine your choice of almond or cashew milk with the dark chocolate. Place over medium-low heat and stir frequently to gently melt the chocolate. Be careful not to boil the mixture.
  2. Add Sweeteners and Flavor: Remove the saucepan from heat, then whisk in the raw honey (or maple syrup) and vanilla extract until fully incorporated. Let this mixture cool for about 20 minutes to avoid curdling when adding yogurt.
  3. Incorporate Greek Yogurt: After cooling, add the full fat unsweetened Greek yogurt to the chocolate mixture. Whisk thoroughly until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency without lumps.
  4. Portion the Mousse: Spoon or pour the mousse into four individual glasses or small jars, dividing it evenly.
  5. Chill to Set: Refrigerate the mousse for at least 4 hours to allow it to fully set and develop a creamy texture.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Just before serving, garnish the mousse with fresh berries, a sprinkle of grated dark chocolate, and a few mint leaves for a fresh, elegant finish.

Notes

  • Be sure to cool the chocolate mixture before adding yogurt to prevent curdling.
  • You can substitute the almond or cashew milk with other plant-based milks, but avoid dairy if you want a lighter option.
  • Adjust sweetness to taste by varying the amount of honey or maple syrup.
  • For a vegan version, use vegan dark chocolate and maple syrup instead of honey.
  • The mousse can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
