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.
