Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup (85 g / 3 oz) chocolate chips (semi-sweet, dark, or sweet as preferred)
- 1 ¾ cups (420 ml / 14.2 fl oz) greek yogurt
- ½ cup (120 ml / 4 fl oz) milk
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml / 0.5 fl oz) honey
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml / 0.17 fl oz) vanilla extract
Instructions
- Milk Infusion: Gently heat milk in a saucepan over low flame, creating a warm base without boiling, ensuring a smooth foundation for the chocolate mixture.
- Chocolate Melting: Add chocolate chips to the warm milk, stirring consistently until fully dissolved, transforming into a glossy, silky chocolate liquid.
- Flavor Fusion: Remove from heat and let the chocolate mixture cool momentarily, then whisk in honey, vanilla extract, and Greek yogurt using a hand mixer until achieving a perfectly smooth, creamy texture.
- Portioning: Carefully divide the velvety mousse into individual serving vessels, distributing evenly to create an elegant presentation.
- Chilling Process: Refrigerate the mousse for approximately two hours, allowing it to solidify and develop a rich, decadent consistency that melts delicately on the palate.
- Final Presentation: Retrieve the chilled dessert and optionally embellish with a delicate swirl of whipped cream, creating a luxurious and visually appealing dessert ready to be savored.
Notes
- Chocolate Melting Technique: Use low, steady heat to prevent chocolate from burning or seizing, which can ruin the smooth texture of the mousse.
- Yogurt Selection Matters: Choose full-fat Greek yogurt for a creamier, richer mousse that holds its structure better and provides a luxurious mouthfeel.
- Cooling Critical Step: Allow the chocolate mixture to cool slightly before adding yogurt to prevent curdling and maintain a silky smooth consistency.
- Chilling Patience Rewards: Refrigerate for at least two hours to let the mousse set properly, developing deeper flavors and achieving the perfect mousse-like texture.
