Ingredients Needed

- 1 cup Greek yogurt, plain (2% or higher for creaminess)
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream (or unsweetened coconut cream)

- 2 scoops chocolate whey or casein protein powder
- 3–4 tablespoons powdered erythritol or allulose (to taste)

How to Make Our Double Chocolate Mousse
-
Whip the cream.
Using a hand mixer, beat heavy cream in a chilled bowl until thick, fluffy peaks form. -
Mix the chocolate base.
In a separate bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, cocoa powder, protein powder, sweetener, vanilla, and a pinch of salt until smooth and glossy. -
Fold together.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture. Keep it airy — this is what gives mousse its signature light texture. -
Taste & adjust.
Add more sweetener if needed to match your dessert craving while still keeping the recipe low carb. -
Chill & serve.
Spoon into small glasses or bowls and refrigerate for 30–60 minutes to set. The texture becomes even more luxurious as it chills.
Storage & Serving Suggestions
- Store in the refrigerator up to 3 days in sealed containers.
- Not recommended for freezing — dairy changes texture once thawed.
- Serve with:
- Fresh berries (still low carb in small amounts)
- A sprinkle of cocoa powder
- Sugar-free whipped cream for extra elegance
This makes a fantastic make-ahead treat for meal prep, special occasions, or healthy dessert cravings.
Tips & FAQs
Can I make this dairy-free?
Yes — replace Greek yogurt with a thick coconut yogurt and use dairy-free protein powder.
What if I don’t have protein powder?
You can replace it with extra cocoa and sweetener, but the mousse will be lower in protein.
Why include Greek yogurt?
It boosts protein, gives a creamy tang, and keeps calories lighter compared to cream-only mousses.
How do I reduce carbs further?
Use allulose and stick to very dark chocolate shaved on top.
