Method
 

  1. Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler) or gently in the microwave in short bursts. Stir until smooth and let it cool slightly.

  3. Stir the melted chocolate into the yolk mixture until combined.
  4. Gently fold in the yogurt until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  5. In a separate clean bowl, whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form.
  6. Carefully fold the beaten egg whites into the chocolate mixture in two batches.
  7. Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or bowls.
  8. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours until set.
  9. Top with fresh berries, chocolate shavings, or nuts if you like before serving.

Notes

For extra protein, you can swap Greek yogurt with cottage cheese blended until smooth. Use a sugar substitute if you want to make it lower carb or keto-friendly. Always ensure egg whites are whipped in a clean, dry bowl for best volume.
