Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Low-fat Greek yogurt (plain)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh orange juice
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Whipped topping (light or sugar-free)
- 2 tablespoons Walnuts (finely chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Dark chocolate chips (60-70% cocoa)
- 1 teaspoon Unsweetened almond milk
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, fresh orange juice, orange zest, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Gently fold the light whipped topping into the yogurt mixture until well combined and airy.
Refrigerate the mousse for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the mousse to set slightly.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and almond milk. Microwave on medium power for 15-20 seconds, stirring halfway through, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
To assemble, divide the mousse evenly into four dessert glasses or bowls.
Drizzle each serving of mousse with the warm fudge sauce, using a small spoon for precision.
Sprinkle the finely chopped walnuts on top of the fudge sauce for a crunchy garnish.
Serve immediately or chill for up to an hour before serving for a firmer texture. Enjoy!
