Here’s a recipe for a Low-Calorie Chocolate Mousse that’s rich and creamy without the guilt! It’s made with lighter ingredients but still delivers a satisfying chocolate flavor.
Low-Calorie Chocolate Mousse
Ingredients:
- 1 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2-3 tablespoons honey or a sugar substitute (like stevia or erythritol, depending on your preference)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips (optional, for melting and added richness)
Instructions:
- Prepare the chocolate (optional):
- If you’re using dark chocolate chips, melt them in the microwave or using a double boiler. Let it cool slightly before adding it to the mousse mixture for a richer taste.
- Mix the mousse base:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, unsweetened cocoa powder, honey (or your chosen sweetener), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. If using melted chocolate, stir it in at this point.
- Blend:
- Once the ingredients are well combined, taste and adjust the sweetness if needed. You can add a little more honey or sweetener to suit your taste.
- Chill:
- Refrigerate the mousse for at least 30 minutes to allow it to firm up and chill. This helps the flavors meld together.
- Serve:
- Spoon the mousse into small serving dishes or glasses. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of cocoa powder, fresh berries, or a dollop of whipped cream (light or sugar-free for a healthier touch).
Tips:
- If you want an extra creamy texture, you can blend the mixture using a hand blender or stand blender to make it even smoother.
- For extra indulgence, you could fold in a small amount of whipped coconut cream or low-fat whipped topping right before serving.
Enjoy your Low-Calorie Chocolate Mousse, a delicious and guilt-free dessert!
