Description
This 3 Ingredient Chocolate Mousse is rich, creamy, and no bake. Made with Greek yogurt, melted dark chocolate, and maple syrup (or honey), it sets into a silky spoonable dessert that feels fancy with almost zero effort.
Ingredients
1 cup (240 g) plain Greek yogurt, full-fat preferred
1/2 cup (85 g) dark chocolate chips (60 to 70% cocoa) or chopped dark chocolate
2 to 3 tablespoons (30 to 45 ml) maple syrup or honey, to taste
Instructions
1. Melt the chocolate gently in a heat-safe bowl using a double boiler, or microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring between bursts, until smooth.
2. Let the melted chocolate cool slightly until warm (not hot). If it is steaming, wait another 2 to 3 minutes.
3. Add Greek yogurt to a mixing bowl. Slowly pour in the warm chocolate while whisking constantly until glossy and fully combined.
4. Whisk in maple syrup or honey. Taste and adjust sweetness.
5. Divide into 3 small dessert cups (or 2 larger cups). Smooth the tops.
6. Chill uncovered for 30 minutes, then cover and chill at least 1 hour (or up to overnight) until set. Serve cold with optional toppings.
Notes
Best texture: Use thick, full-fat Greek yogurt.
Avoid grainy mousse: Do not add hot chocolate to cold yogurt. Warm is perfect.
Make it dairy-free: Use thick unsweetened coconut yogurt and chill longer for a firmer set.
Flavor boosts: Add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract or a pinch of instant espresso powder.
Storage: Refrigerate covered up to 4 days. Freeze up to 1 month for a frozen mousse texture.
