Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa or more)
- 3 large Egg whites
- 50 grams Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 150 grams Non-fat Greek yogurt
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
1. Begin by finely chopping the dark chocolate.
2. Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water. Stir occasionally until smooth, then remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.
3. In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer on medium speed until they start to form soft peaks.
4. Gradually add the sugar to the egg whites, continuing to beat on high speed until stiff peaks form.
5. Gently fold in the vanilla extract and salt into the egg whites.
6. In a separate bowl, mix the cooled, melted chocolate with the non-fat Greek yogurt until smooth and well combined.
7. Carefully fold a third of the egg white mixture into the chocolate-yogurt mixture to lighten it.
8. Once incorporated, gently fold in the remaining egg white mixture until no streaks remain, taking care not to deflate the mousse.
9. Divide the mousse into serving glasses or bowls and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until set.
10. Serve the mousse chilled. Enjoy the creamy, low-fat chocolate indulgence!
