Chocolate Yogurt “Mousse”
This dairy-heavy recipe takes a tricky, technical dessert and simplifies it into something that you can easily whip up in 15 minutes. If you’re feeling festive, it would be delicious with a sprinkle of crushed peppermints or toffee.
Ingredients
4 ounces (70% cacao) baking chocolate, cut into pieces
¼ cup maple syrup
1 cup heavy cream, divided
1 teaspoon sugar
1 cup whole Greek yogurt
Flaky sea salt
Directions
Fill a medium saucepan a quarter full with water and bring to a boil. Place the chocolate in a glass bowl and set above the boiling water, making sure the water does not touch the bowl directly. Stir the chocolate with a spatula until it’s fully melted. Remove the bowl from the heat and stir in the maple syrup and ½ cup of heavy cream until smooth.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the remaining ½ cup heavy cream on high until stiff. Add the sugar and combine with a spatula. Transfer to a small bowl.
In the same large bowl, add the chocolate mixture without wiping out the bowl and whisk on high for a minute or two. Add the yogurt and continue whisking until combined.
Serve right away (or chilled if you prefer) with a sprinkle of salt and a dollop of whipped cream.
