Velvety Greek Yogurt Chocolate Mousse: Protein-Packed Indulgence

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1

   In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, cocoa powder, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, and sea salt.
2. 2

   Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is completely smooth, lump-free, and evenly colored. Ensure all cocoa powder is fully incorporated. Taste and adjust sweetness if desired.
3. 3

   Divide the chocolate mousse mixture evenly into four individual serving dishes, ramekins, or small glasses.
4. 4

   Cover each dish loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the mousse to firm up and flavors to meld. This chilling step is essential for the best texture.
5. 5

   While the mousse chills, toast the almonds: Spread the sliced or chopped almonds in a single layer on a dry skillet over medium-low heat. Stir frequently for 3-5 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden. Be careful not to burn them. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
6. 6

   Once the Greek Yogurt Chocolate Mousse is firm and well-chilled, remove the plastic wrap. Sprinkle the toasted almonds generously over each serving just before enjoying.
