Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain, thick) This gives the mousse body and that creamy feel.
  • 1/3 cup Cocoa powder Go for unsweetened, and use a good one if you can.
  • 1 scoop Protein powder (chocolate or vanilla) Whey or a whey blend is easiest for smooth texture.
  • 2 tablespoons Sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or zero calorie sweetener) Adjust to taste.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract Small amount, big difference.
  • 1 pinch Salt Enhances the chocolate flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons Milk (any kind) Only if needed to loosen the mix.
Optional Toppings
  • A few Raspberries For a fresh touch.
  • To taste Shaved dark chocolate Makes it feel like a premium dessert.
  • 1 spoon Whipped topping For added creaminess.
  • To taste Crushed nuts For extra texture.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Mix cocoa powder and protein powder together in a small bowl to prevent clumping.
  2. In a blender or food processor, combine Greek yogurt, dry mix, vanilla extract, and salt.
  3. Blend until smooth. If too thick, add milk one teaspoon at a time to adjust consistency.
  4. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed.
  5. Let the mousse chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes for best texture.
  6. Serve with your choice of toppings.

Notes

Use thick yogurt for optimal texture. Do not overdo the sweetener at the start. Letting it chill improves texture and flavor.
