This Greek Yogurt Chocolate Mousse gives a healthier spin-off of traditional mousse! Packed with protein from Greek yogurt and full of rich chocolate flavor and a hint of cinnamon and almond!
Heat the milk and chocolate in the microwave in 20 seconds increments, whisking in between until silky smooth. For me, this usually takes around 4 rounds.
Next, sprinkle half of a gelatin packet into the melted chocolate mixture and whisk until blended well.
Mix the Greek yogurt, maple syrup, almond extract or Amaretto and cinnamon in a mixing bowl.
Add the melted chocolate mixture to the Greek yogurt and mix until combined.
Divide mousse into 4 6oz ramekins and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings if desired.
Notes
If you want more of an airy texture, whip ½ cup heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks. Then gently fold it into the mousse after step 3.
If you don't have ramekins you can divide the mouse into small bowls, martini glasses, espresso cups or any other small glass or bowl on hand. The portions may be smaller.
The longer the mousse sits the more firm the texture will be. You can prep the mousse the night before serving and let it firm up overnight in the refrigerator.
