Protein Chocolate Mousse
Ingredients:
3 eggs, separated
¾ c plain Greek yogurt
¼ c coconut sugar
2 Tbsp cocoa powder
Pinch of salt
1 ½ cup dark chocolate, chopped
Directions:
- In a medium saucepan, mix together the egg yolks, coconut sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. Stir constantly until the mixture thickens and comes to a slight simmer.
- Remove from the heat and add the dark chocolate. Store until combined. Set aside.
- Whip egg whites to stiff peaks. Gently fold in a little bit of the chocolate mixture at a time until fully combined. Be careful not to mix too hard or the egg whites will deflate.
- Pour into cups and chill for 2 hours.
- Top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.
Notes:
- Makes 2 large servings or 4 smaller servings.
- Chocolate can be whatever type you like. We opted for a sugar-free dark chocolate.
- Coconut sugar can be substituted for any type of granular sugar you prefer.
