💡 Tips:

• For a mousse-like texture, use thick Greek yogurt (avoid runny ones).

• Want extra protein? Add 1 tbsp of unflavoured or chocolate protein powder or collagen.

• For a dairy-free version, use a thick coconut yogurt and adjust flavour accordingly.

• Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to five days

• For an extra light and airy mousse, use a hand mixer or immersion blender to whip the mixture for 1–2 minutes. It adds volume and gives it that smooth, mousse-like texture without needing heavy cream!
