Choffy Chocolate Mousse

Choffy Chocolate Mousse
Created by: Cooking with Ruthie
Y’all know how I love to skinny recipes down, keeping all the flavor but with less calories. It’s a little competition I have with myself sometimes… all in good clean fun, of course!

Choffy Mousse is my version of the decadent chocolate mousse that your sweet tooth is used to enjoying but a little skinnier!
(the skinny part can be our little secret)

Instead of lots and lots of heavy whipping cream this recipe replaces part of it with fat free greek yogurt- yep, your waistline will thank me later 🙂
Ingredients:
  • 2 1/2 tsp granulated gelatin
  • 3 Tbsp cold water
  • 1/4 C IC Dark Choffy, strongly brewed
  • 3/4 C heavy whipping cream, divided
  • 1/2 C semi sweet chocolate chips, melted
  • 1/2 C fat free Greek yogurt
Ingredients Choffy Cream:
  • 2 Tbsp IC Dark Choffy, strongly brewed and cooled
  • 1/4 C heavy whipping cream
  • 4 Tbsp powdered sugar

 Instructions:

  1. Place water with gelatin slowly and evenly sprinkled over top in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Set aside for 5 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, using a small mixing bowl and hand mixer; beat 1/2 C whipping cream to stiff peak.
  4. Combine remaining 1/4 C un-whipped cream and 1/4 C brewed IC Dark Choffy; making sure it remains warm.
  5. Melt chocolate chips (I used the microwave) and whisk into gelatin for 1-2 minutes until fairly smooth.
  6. Whisk Choffy/cream mixture into chocolate; whisk until smooth.
  7. Gently fold in whipped cream by hand until combined.
  8. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to set.
  9. Remove and whisk smooth.
Instructions for Choffy Cream:
1. Using a small mixing bowl and hand mixer; beat 1/4 C whipping cream to stiff peak.
2. Slowly add 2 Tbsp powdered sugar, then 1 Tbsp Choffy; mix until smooth.
3. Repeat with remaining.
4. Layer in a small glass Choffy Mousse and Choffy Cream alternating.
5. Garnish with Choffy.
