Greek Yogurt Chocolate Mousse

By

  • 4

Ingredients

  • 6 ounces (170g) good-quality dark chocolate with 70% cacao, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) whole milk
  • 1 or 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier, or other good-quality orange liquor
  • 1 cup (240ml) whole Greek yogurt (2% is also okay, but don’t use nonfat)
  • 4 teaspoons orange marmalade

Preparation

Step 1

Place the chocolate into a medium heatproof bowl.

In a small heavy-bottomed saucepan, bring the milk just to a boil over medium heat. Pour the hot milk over the chocolate and leave it to sit for 1 to 2 minutes.
Stir with a spatula or a wooden spoon until you have a smooth ganache.

In a small bowl, beat the Greek yogurt with a small whisk or a fork until smooth. Fold the yogurt into the chocolate mixture using a spatula until thoroughly combined, then stir in the tablespoon of Grand Marnier. If you like a boozy dessert, add the second tablespoon.

Spoon the mousse into four small serving cups and chill until firm, at least one hour, or up to a day ahead, covered with plastic wrap. To serve, spoon a teaspoon of marmalade onto each serving.
