Description
Creamy, no-bake Chocolate Skyr Dessert Cups made with thick Icelandic skyr, cocoa, and a touch of natural sweetness. A silky, high-protein chocolate treat that chills into a mousse-like texture in under an hour.
Ingredients
Plain skyr: 1 1/2 cups (360 g)
Unsweetened cocoa powder: 3 Tbsp (15 g), sifted
Maple syrup or honey: 3 to 4 Tbsp (45 to 60 ml), to taste
Vanilla extract: 1 tsp (5 ml)
Fine sea salt: 1 pinch (optional)
Optional toppings: berries, shaved dark chocolate, chopped nuts
Instructions
1. Whisk the skyr in a medium bowl for 30 to 45 seconds until perfectly smooth.
2. Sift in the cocoa powder, then add maple syrup (or honey), vanilla, and salt.
3. Whisk until fully combined, glossy, and evenly chocolate-colored. Scrape the bowl to catch any cocoa pockets.
4. Divide evenly into 4 small dessert cups or jars and smooth the tops.
5. Chill for at least 30 minutes (or up to 24 hours). Add toppings right before serving.
Notes
Sifting cocoa prevents lumps and harsh bitterness.
Taste before chilling and adjust sweetness while the mixture is still easy to whisk.
For an extra-smooth mousse texture, blend the mixture for 10 to 15 seconds in a mini blender or food processor.
Make-ahead friendly: store covered in the fridge up to 4 days. Freezing is not recommended (can turn grainy).
