This healthy chocolate mousse gets its richness from LANCEWOOD GREEK DELIGHT® Double Cream Yoghurt and a hit of protein powder rather than cream and eggs, dessert enough to feel indulgent without derailing the rest of the day.
Cocoa bloomed in boiling water turns properly dark and bitter before it ever meets the yoghurt, folded through until the whole thing goes glossy and thick enough to hold a spoon standing upright in the glass.
Topped with fresh berries and a last dusting of cocoa, it looks like something off a restaurant dessert menu, not a mousse that started with a scoop of protein powder. Rich enough to feel indulgent, honest enough to eat on an ordinary Tuesday.
Around 14.4g per serving, from the LANCEWOOD GREEK DELIGHT® Double Cream Yoghurt and the added protein powder.
Yes, both vanilla and chocolate flavoured protein powder are suggested, either works well against the cocoa.
Add 2.5ml of coffee powder to the cocoa before dissolving it in boiling water, the coffee deepens the chocolate flavour without making it taste like coffee.
Yes, it keeps well covered in the fridge for a day or two, making it a convenient make-ahead dessert.
Yes, with a decent hit of protein and not much else, it works well as a treat that still fits into a higher-protein day.
Fresh berries and a sprinkling of cocoa powder are suggested, though chocolate shavings or a few crushed nuts would work too.
