Recipe of the Week 5/24: Greek Yogurt Chocolate Mousse
Yields 6 Servings
Ingredients
- Greek Yogurt - 1 3/4 cups
- Milk - 1/2 cup
- Chocolate Chips - 1/2 cup (I used semi-sweet chocolate chips - but you can use dark or sweet chips if you prefer)
- Honey - 1 tbsp
- Vanilla Extract - 1 tsp
Instructions
Pour milk in a saucepan and put it on low heat. When the milk warms up, add chocolate chips and stir them until they melt. (Don't bring the milk to a boil)
Once the chocolate chips are melted, remove the milk from heat and let it rest for 3-5 minutes. Add honey, vanilla extract and greek yogurt and mix it properly. There should be no lumps (you can even use a hand mixer for this)
Pour it into ramekins and let it chill for at least 2 hours.
Serve chilled. You can add a little whipped cream on top while serving if you desire.
(Try it frozen - also makes a delicious, creamy frozen treat!)
