This high protein chocolate mousse only needs 4 ingredients and is sugar free, low carb, and keto friendly. The perfect healthy dessert that’s rich, creamy, and oh so satisfying!
High Protein Chocolate Mousse
The most creamy and fluffy chocolate pudding exists and I’m here to tell the story.
The secret ingredient? Greek yogurt. And a few more ingredients. But it really is so easy and simple to whip up!
Here’s the thing. I’m not normally a fan of greek yogurt because of it’s tangy/sour taste, unless paired with the right ingredients. When I find the right combination, it makes for the perfect decadent dessert even though it is low carb.

Full Fat Greek Yogurt Benefits
You’ll want to use full fat greek yogurt for this recipe.
- Contains probiotics to aid in gut health and digestion
- High fat, low sugar, and filling
- Great source of protein (for energy, recovery, and satiety)
- Promotes bone health, skin health, gut health and nerve health
- Lowers blood pressure and reduces risk of diabetes
Keto Friendly Chocolate Protein Powder
I absolutely love how I feel when I up my protein. I’ve mentioned on Instagram how I get 100 g of protein in a what-I-eat-in-a-day showing each meal and the protein content, but I find that protein powder is the most convenient approach to achieve this.
My favourite way is to whisk it up with some almond milk, sometimes adding in matcha (love the Canadian Mindset Matcha that’s ceremonial grade) and also sweetener, or blending up a quick berry smoothie.
For this mousse, I used Good Protein in chocolate flavour, which actually has a great taste and is naturally sweet. Keep in mind, one scoop is approximately 5 next carbs.
Ingredients:
- Full fat greek yogurt (if you don’t have it, you can use cream cheese or heavy cream)
- Vanilla extract
- Stevia (use more if you want to mask the taste of the yogurt)
- Chocolate protein powder (I’ve tried many and my currently my favourite by far is Good Protein)
- Lily’s sugar free chocolate chips (for topping)
Equipment You’ll Need:
- A medium – large mixing bowl, which will help with any splatter
- An electric hand mixer, or a whisk with a lot of muscle
- A rubber spatula for getting into every last little bit of goodness and for smoothing
Chocolate Mousse Toppings
For added goodness, I added a whole lot of Lily’s sugar free chocolate chips, but there are so many options you can choose from.
Some other toppings you can use instead are:
- SF Chocolate chunks/shavings
- Berries
- Cinnamon
- Whipped Cream
- SF sprinkles
- SF Chocolate Drizzle
- SF Honey or Maple Syrup
- SF marshmallows
- Chia seeds
- Flax seeds
How to Store Chocolate Mousse
You can double and triple this recipe and store it away for later! This mousse is the perfect weeknight guilt-free dessert when cravings hit.
Simply store in an airtight container in the fridge to keep it light and fluffy, for up to four days. Use a spatula to whip it up again before serving.
