Description
Make rich chocolate yogurt mousse with granola topping in 15 minutes. This is a healthy dessert-style snack served in jars.
Ingredients
- 2 cups plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
- ⅓ cup dark chocolate chips
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ cup granola (for topping)
- 2 tablespoons mini dark chocolate chips (for topping)
- Fresh raspberries or strawberries for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Place dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth.
- Let melted chocolate cool to room temperature for 5 minutes.
- Combine Greek yogurt, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sea salt in a food processor or blender.
- Add the cooled melted chocolate to the yogurt mixture. Blend on low speed for 30 to 45 seconds until smooth and creamy. Do not overmix.
- Divide the chocolate mousse evenly among 4 small glass jars or ramekins, filling each about three-quarters full.
- Cover jars and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until chilled and set.
- Just before serving, top each jar with 2 tablespoons of granola, a sprinkle of mini chocolate chips, and fresh berries if desired.
- Serve immediately after adding granola topping.
Notes
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for the creamiest texture.
- Cool melted chocolate completely before adding to yogurt to avoid watery mousse.
- Blend only until combined; overmixing makes the mousse watery.
- Add granola topping immediately before serving to keep it crunchy.
- Store mousse covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
