Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup (240 g) thick Greek yogurt (2% or 5% for creamier results; use dairy-free Greek-style yogurt if needed)
  • 1 scoop (25–35 g) chocolate protein powder (whey, casein, or a plant blend)
  • 1–2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (Dutch-process for smoother, darker flavor)
  • Sweetener to taste (maple syrup, honey, or a zero-calorie sweetener)
  • Pinch of salt (deepens chocolate flavor)
  • 1–3 tablespoons milk or water (only if you want a softer, airier texture)
  • Vanilla extract or a shot of espresso for extra depth
  • Toppings: shaved dark chocolate, fresh berries, cacao nibs, or crushed nuts

Method
 

  1. Start with cold yogurt. Add Greek yogurt to a mixing bowl. Cold yogurt helps the mousse set quickly and taste extra refreshing.
  2. Add dry ingredients. Sprinkle in the chocolate protein powder and cocoa powder. Add a small pinch of salt if using.
  3. Mix until silky. Stir with a spatula or whisk until completely smooth. If it’s very thick, add 1 tablespoon of milk or water at a time. Aim for a thick, mousse-like texture that holds soft peaks.
  4. Taste and adjust. If you want it sweeter, add a little sweetener and mix again. This is also the moment to add vanilla or espresso if you like.
  5. Rest briefly. Let the mousse sit for 5–10 minutes in the fridge. The cocoa hydrates and the texture becomes even creamier.
  6. Serve and top. Spoon into a glass or bowl. Add berries, shaved chocolate, or a sprinkle of cocoa if you want a polished finish.
