- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Collect all the ingredients in a mixing bowl: Greek yogurt, unsweetened cocoa powder, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and milk.
- Blend Mixture: Use an electric mixer on medium speed to blend all ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste the mousse mixture and add additional honey or maple syrup if a sweeter flavor is desired. Mix briefly to combine.
- Portion Mousse: Spoon the mousse evenly into individual serving cups or containers for freezing.
- Freeze: Place the filled cups in the freezer and freeze for at least 4 hours or until the mousse is solid.
- Serve: Remove from the freezer and let sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes before serving. Optionally, garnish with finely chopped parsley or other toppings of your choice.
Notes
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for creamier texture and higher protein.
- Maple syrup is a great vegan alternative to honey.
- You can substitute milk with almond, oat, or soy milk for a dairy-free version.
- Garnish options include shaved dark chocolate, nuts, or fresh berries.
- Letting mousse sit briefly before serving helps soften it for the best texture.
