Thick Protein Chocolate Mousse Recipe
This Thick and Creamy Protein Chocolate Mousse is a great no-bake dessert. The mousse is made mostly of greek yogurt and protein powder. However, the chocolate flavor is enhanced with cocoa powder. It's an easy-to-make, high-protein recipe to satisfy your chocolate cravings.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek Yogurt
- 1-2 tbsp Maple Syrup, do 2 tbsp if you want it a little sweeter
- 1-2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 serving Chocolate Protein Powder, should be about 1/2 cup but varies between protein powder brands
- 1/4 cup Cocoa Powder
- Strawberries, optional, for topping
- Chocolate Chips, optional, for topping
Instructions
- This recipe can be made in a mixing bowl or food processor. I typically make it using a mixing bowl with an electric hand mixer. It ensures a smooth and creamy mousse texture .
- First, add all of the ingredients into the mixing bowl (or food processor), excluding any toppings
- Mix (or pulse the food processor) until the ingredients are fully combined
- Transfer to a bowl and chill in the fridge for 50-60 minutes or freeze for about 30 minutes
- Add into a serving bowl and top with fresh strawberries, chocolate chips or anything else your heart desires. My favorite topping is chocolate chips!
- Enjoy!
