Chocolate Protein Mousse
Rich, creamy, high-protein chocolate mousse made with Greek yogurt and chocolate protein powder.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt 2% or full-fat
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste
- 1/2 cup chocolate protein powder
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup sliced strawberries optional, for topping
- 2 tablespoons chocolate chips optional, for topping
Instructions
- Add the Greek yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla bean paste, chocolate protein powder, and cocoa powder to a medium mixing bowl or food processor.
- If using a mixing bowl, beat with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until the mixture is smooth, thick, and fully combined with no lumps. If using a food processor, pulse and then process until completely smooth and glossy.
- Taste and adjust sweetness if desired by adding a little more maple syrup and mixing again.
- Transfer the mousse to a clean bowl, cover tightly, and refrigerate for 50 minutes or until thickened and chilled.
- Spoon the mousse into serving bowls.
- Top with sliced strawberries and chocolate chips, if using, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use a good-quality, thick Greek yogurt for the creamiest texture; thin yogurt will make the mousse looser.
- For a firmer, more ice-cream-like texture, chill in the freezer for 30 minutes instead of the fridge.
- This mousse keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; add toppings just before serving.
- Any chocolate protein powder works here; whey, plant-based, or a blend will all give slightly different flavors and textures.
