Melt the chocolate:
Break the Whitakers Dark Chocolate into small pieces and melt gently in a heatproof bowl set over simmering water (or in the microwave in 20-second bursts).
Let it cool slightly for 1–2 minutes.
Combine the protein base:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yoghurt, protein powder, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Add honey or maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter mousse.
Fold in the chocolate:
Pour the cooled melted chocolate into the yoghurt mixture and whisk until smooth and glossy.
Add a splash of milk if it becomes too thick.
Chill and set:
Spoon into ramekins or dessert glasses and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm and mousse-like.
Serve and decorate:
Top with chocolate curls, a dusting of cocoa powder, or fresh berries before serving.

How to Store Your Homemade Chocolate-Flavoured High Protein Mousse
Store the mousse in airtight containers or cover the ramekins with cling film.
Keep it in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Check for any off smells or changes in texture before eating.
Avoid freezing, as it can alter the smooth consistency due to the yoghurt base.
For best results, eat within the first 2 days when the flavour and texture are at their peak.

The History of Chocolate Mousse in the UK
Chocolate mousse first appeared in France during the eighteenth century. The name comes from the French word for foam, which fits its light and airy feel.
British cooks started making the dessert in the early twentieth century after French recipes and travel brought new ideas across the channel.
It quickly became a favourite at dinner parties and special meals because it looked elegant and needed very little actual cooking.
Classic versions relied on eggs, cream and good chocolate to create the soft texture and deep flavour.
As the years passed, home cooks found simpler ways to achieve the same creamy result without complicated steps.
In more recent times, lighter versions have grown popular, often using Greek yoghurt and protein powder to keep the taste while boosting the protein content.
Chocolate mousse remains a much-loved pudding in homes across the UK, enjoyed by families and friends at gatherings and celebrations.
