Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk or cashew milk
- 6 oz dark chocolate
- 2 cups full fat unsweetened Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons raw honey or pure maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
To Garnish
- Fresh strawberries or raspberries
- Grated dark chocolate
- Mint leaves
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate: In a small saucepan, combine the 1/2 cup of unsweetened almond or cashew milk and 6 oz dark chocolate. Place over medium-low heat and stir frequently until the chocolate is completely melted, being careful not to let it boil.
- Add flavorings and cool: Remove the saucepan from heat, whisk in 2 tablespoons of raw honey or pure maple syrup and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Allow the mixture to cool at room temperature for about 20 minutes.
- Incorporate yogurt: Once cooled, add 2 cups of full fat unsweetened Greek yogurt to the chocolate mixture. Whisk thoroughly until smooth and fully combined.
- Portion and chill: Divide the chocolate mousse evenly into four individual serving glasses or small jars. Place them in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours to allow the mousse to set and develop flavor.
- Garnish and serve: Just before serving, garnish the mousse with fresh raspberries or strawberries, grated dark chocolate, and a sprig of mint for a fresh, decorative touch. Enjoy immediately for best texture and taste.
