Steps by step instructions
How to make chocolate protein mousse in 3 easy steps
STEP 1: Mix all ingredients, excluding chocolate chips and coconut oil, in a large bowl with a whisk until fully combined.
STEP 2: Melt sugar-free chocolate chips with coconut oil in the microwave in two 30-second increments, stirring in between. Once melted, cool slightly and whisk into the bowl.
STEP 3: Transfer the mixture into individual portions, refrigerate for at least 1 hour, and optionally top with whipped cream before serving.
Top Tip
Opt for 5% Greek yogurt to maintain a thicker and creamier consistency in your protein mousse. The higher fat content in the yogurt contributes to a more indulgent texture, enhancing the overall satisfaction of your dessert.
Recipe variations
- Protein Powder Variation: Explore different chocolate protein powder options to alter the flavor profile of the mousse. Experiment with your preferred brands or those with higher cocoa content for a richer taste. You can also use cocoa powder if you don't want the extra protein.
- Sweetener Swap: Instead of Lakanto maple-flavored syrup, consider trying other sugar-free sweeteners to tailor the sweetness level to your liking. This allows for flexibility in adapting the recipe to individual taste preferences.
- Topping Choices: Customize the mousse by experimenting with various toppings. Opt for fresh fruits like berries or sliced bananas for a burst of freshness. The versatility of toppings adds diversity to the overall dessert experience.
- Texture Modification: Adjust the texture by varying the chocolate chip type. Instead of melting them, you can use different forms, such as mini chocolate chips or finely grated chocolate. This alteration brings a unique textural element to the protein mousse.
- Base Ingredient Substitution: Swap Greek yogurt for cottage cheese to explore a different base for a carnivore dessert. This substitution can influence the creaminess and tanginess of the dessert, offering a new take on the classic protein mousse recipe.
Storage
- Fill 4 oz cups or glasses with the protein mousse mixture.
- Cover each cup with plastic wrap.
