Ingredients

  • 16 oz plain Greek yogurt 2% or whole milk recommended

  • ½ cup creamy cashew butter
  • 2 tsp vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 3 tbsp cocoa powder

  • 8 oz dark chocolate about 70%, melted and slightly cooled

  • Blend until completely smooth, thick, and glossy, scraping down the sides as needed.
  • Transfer the chocolate mixture to a large mixing bowl.
  • Gently fold in the whipped cream until fully incorporated, being careful not to deflate the mousse.

Notes

If you plan to let the mousse firm up a little before proportioning it, cover the chocolate mousse with Saran Wrap so that it doesn't create a film on top.
