Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup low-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg white
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon dark chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the cocoa powder, low-fat Greek yogurt, honey, and vanilla extract together until smooth and fully combined. Set aside.
In a separate clean bowl, add the egg white and a pinch of salt. Using a hand mixer or a whisk, beat the egg white until it forms stiff peaks.
Gently fold the beaten egg white into the chocolate yogurt mixture, being careful not to deflate the egg white. Fold until no white streaks remain and the mixture is light and airy.
Divide the mousse between two serving glasses or bowls.
Optionally, top with dark chocolate shavings for garnish.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes for a slightly firmer texture.
