Q&A
Can I make it without heavy cream?
Yes. For a lighter version, use additional Greek yogurt, though the texture will be thicker and less airy.
Can I use plain yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?
Yes, but Greek yogurt works best because it has a thicker consistency.
Can I make it less sweet?
Absolutely. Adjust or reduce the powdered sugar according to your taste.
How long does it keep?
Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Can I use milk chocolate?
Yes, but the mousse will be sweeter. Dark chocolate gives a richer chocolate flavor.
