📝 Ingredients

Chocolate Mousse

  • 4 oz (115 g) sugar-free dark chocolate, chopped
  • 1 cup plain unsweetened Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream

Note: Choose a high-quality sugar-free dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa for the richest flavor.


Directions

1.

Place the chopped sugar-free dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl.

Microwave on Medium Power in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth.

Allow it to cool slightly.


2.

In a large bowl, whisk together:

  • Greek yogurt
  • Monk fruit sweetener

Mix until smooth.


3.

Gradually stir the melted chocolate into the yogurt mixture until fully combined.

Texture cue: The mixture should be glossy and lump-free.


4.

In another bowl, whip the heavy cream using an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.

Avoid overwhipping.


5.

Using a silicone spatula, gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture in three additions.

Texture cue: The mousse should become light and airy while remaining smooth.


6.

Divide the mousse evenly among serving glasses.

Smooth the tops with the back of a spoon.


7.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.

The mousse should become firm while maintaining a creamy texture.
