You can use two easy methods: - Double boiler method: Place a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water. Make sure the bowl does not touch the water. Stir the chocolate until it melts completely. - Microwave method: Put the chocolate chips in a bowl. Microwave in 20-second bursts. Stir after each burst until the chocolate is smooth.

In a mixing bowl, combine: - 1 cup of Greek yogurt - 1/4 cup of honey or maple syrup - 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract - A pinch of salt Stir these ingredients until the mix is smooth and creamy.

Be careful not to mix too hard. You want to keep it airy. Now it’s time to fill your serving cups. Spoon the mousse mixture into cups or small glasses. Fill them about three-quarters full to leave room for toppings. Cover the cups with plastic wrap or lids. Place them in the fridge for at least 1 hour. This helps the mousse set and lets the flavors blend together nicely. Before serving, add fresh berries on top. You can also sprinkle shaved dark chocolate or cocoa powder for a nice finish!

You can also use flavored Greek yogurt. Vanilla or honey flavors work great and add a fun twist. Garnish with fresh mint for a bright look. Place a sprig atop the berries for a pop of color. Layer the mousse in clear cups for a stunning view. You can alternate layers of mousse and berries for an eye-catching effect.

Melt it the same way as dark chocolate. You can also choose flavored chocolates, like mint or orange. This adds a fun twist to every bite. Seasonal fruits make great toppings.

Glass jars or plastic containers work great. These keep moisture out and help maintain the mousse's creamy texture. Always cover the mousse with plastic wrap or a lid to avoid any odors from the fridge. Can you freeze chocolate mousse? Yes, you can freeze it, but the texture may change. The mousse can last up to two months in the freezer. For best results, use a freezer-safe container. Leave some space at the top, as the mousse will expand when frozen. To thaw, move the mousse to the fridge overnight. This will help it regain some of its creamy texture. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the mousse unevenly warm and change its consistency.

If you prefer low-fat, just remember the mousse may not be as thick. You can keep the mousse cups for up to three days in the fridge. Make sure to cover them well.
