🥛 0% Greek Yogurt: High in protein with a smooth, creamy texture, making this dessert rich and satisfying.

Ingredients:

100 g soft dates

40 g chia seeds

20 g May I organic natural cacao powder

30 g peanut butter protein powder

10 g vanilla extract

265 g 0% Greek Yogurt

100 ml milk (add 10ml if too thick)

Pinch of salt



Step-by-Step Directions for Perfect Mousse


  • High-Protein Chocolate Date Mousse ingredients

  1. Add the dates, organic cacao powder, Greek yogurt, milk, peanut butter protein powder, vanilla extract, and salt to a blender.

  2. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth.

  3. Stir in the chia seeds by hand to avoid breaking them down.

  4. Divide the mousse evenly between two serving glasses or jars.

  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the mousse to thicken and set.


The chia seeds absorb moisture and give the mousse a satisfying, pudding-like texture. Chilling overnight enhances the flavours and texture even more.
