Chocolate is a natural fit for Valentine’s Day! My Simple Chocolate Mousse is gluten-free, grain-free, egg-free, nut-free, high in protein and low in sugar. You can whip up a quick batch in less than 15 minutes for a delicious treat or romantic dessert!
This recipe is quick and easy with a velvety smooth mousse texture and rich chocolate flavor! Incorporating raw, organic cacao lends antioxidant power, while the Siggi’s skyr is rich in protein and low in added sugar. You could also use coconut milk yogurt for a vegan option, but it will not be as high in protein.
Although much of the chocolate you find in the grocery store today is packed with processed sugars, non-organic dairy and other artificial and inflammatory ingredients, pure, raw chocolate has many health benefits!
Simple Chocolate Mousse
Ingredients
- 2 5.3 oz cups Siggi's Vanilla Skyr Icelandic Yogurt or other thick/Greek or strained non-dairy yogurt
- 10-20 drops vanilla stevia
- 4 tsp unsweetened organic cacao powder to taste
- 2 Tbs coconut cream*
- Pinch sea salt
- Garnish: shaved unsweetened organic chocolate optional
Instructions
- Stir the cacao powder, coconut sugar, vanilla extract and sea salt into the yogurt to combine well.
- Gently fold in the coconut whipped cream.
- Serve chilled and garnish with shaved chocolate if desired.
Notes
*For the best thick creaminess, I use a full-fat coconut milk, preferably gum-free and in a non-BPA lined can, chilled to separate the cream from the liquid or So Delicious Dairy Free cartons of coconut milk. Refrigerate the coconut milk overnight, carefully open and scoop out the thick cream from the top to use. Save the coconut water for another use, like smoothies.
