What You’ll Need

Gather the following ingredients to make your mousse:

For the Mousse

• 1.5 cups yogurt, I use FAGE Total 5% for a thick and creamy texture
• 3 tbsp cocoa powder
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 tablespoon honey

Use dairy-free yogurt for a vegan option.

How to Make It

Start whipping up your mousse with these simple steps:

Melt

Melt the chocolate chips. In a microwave-safe bowl, heat chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted.

Combine

Combine ingredients. In a separate bowl, mix yogurt, cocoa powder, salt, and honey until smooth and well combined.

Fold

Fold in the chocolate. Gently add the melted chocolate to the yogurt mixture and fold until just combined, being careful not to deflate the mixture too much.

Chill

Chill the mousse. Transfer the mousse into serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set before serving.

How to Store It

Fridge: up to 3 days in airtight containers.
Freezer: no, the texture will change.
Reheat: not needed; serve chilled.

Tips for Best Results
