Description
A rich and creamy high protein chocolate mousse made with Greek yogurt, cocoa powder, and chocolate protein powder. This no-cook dessert is smooth, indulgent, and naturally sweetened, perfect for a quick snack or healthy treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
- 1 scoop (about 30 grams) chocolate protein powder
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 to 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon dark chocolate chips (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, add the Greek yogurt, chocolate protein powder, unsweetened cocoa powder, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
- Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed to fully incorporate the powders.
- Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more maple syrup if desired.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the mousse to firm up slightly, if a thicker texture is preferred.
- Spoon into serving bowls and top with dark chocolate chips if desired. Serve chilled.
Notes
- Sift the cocoa powder and protein powder before mixing to prevent lumps.
- Use room temperature yogurt for easier blending.
- Chill longer for a firmer, more traditional mousse texture.
- Top with fresh berries or shaved dark chocolate for extra flavor.
