Yield

Time
1 hour 20 minutes
Ingredients
600 g (about 2.5 cups) Greek yogurt (preferably thick 0% like Fage)
2 tbsp whipped cream cheese
5–6 tbsp unsweetened cacao powder (I use 6 tbsp)
1/2 to 3/4 cup powdered monk fruit (or preferred powdered sweetener) — must be powdered
2 tbsp chocolate chips, melted (use sugar-free or regular, more if desired)
Sugar-free caramel sauce or regular caramel sauce, for drizzling
2 tbsp crushed roasted peanuts (or more to taste)
Pinch of sea salt
Optional: 1 tsp coconut oil to help melt chocolate
Instructions
Step 1
Add the Greek yogurt, whipped cream cheese, unsweetened cacao powder, and powdered sweetener to a small food processor. Note: use a powdered sweetener — granular sweeteners will affect texture.
Step 2
Process until completely smooth and mousse-like, about 30–45 seconds. Taste and adjust sweetness or cacao if needed.
Step 3
Transfer the mousse to a container or divide into 3 serving bowls. Refrigerate for about 1 hour to let it settle and thicken (you can eat immediately, but chilling improves texture and flavor).
Step 4
Melt the chocolate chips: place chips (and optional 1 tsp coconut oil) in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 15 seconds, stir, then continue in 15-second increments until smooth.
Step 5
Assemble: spoon the chilled yogurt mousse into bowls (if not already divided). Drizzle caramel sauce over each portion, spread or drizzle the melted chocolate on top, then sprinkle with crushed peanuts and a pinch of sea salt.
Step 6
Optional: chill briefly after assembling if you want the chocolate to set into a crackable layer. Serve chilled.
