2) Easy Healthy Chocolate Cheesecake Mousse Recipe

This healthy cheesecake recipe came about one night when I was two spoonfuls deep into peanut butter and realized I had no dessert plans. It was late, I didn’t want to bake, but I wanted something indulgent that didn’t derail everything I’d done right that day.

I started tossing things into a bowl. Greek yogurt. Chocolate protein powder. A touch of cocoa. That first bite? It gave chocolate mousse. But with cheesecake vibes. And just like that, this little gem became a regular in my house.

Healthy cheesecake recipes don’t have to be complicated. With this one, there’s no crust to roll, no water bath to wrestle. You just mix, chill, and try not to eat both servings yourself. It fits right into the kind of healthier recipes that don’t make you feel like you’re missing out. It even earned a spot on my High Protein Cheesecake shortlist.

3) Ingredients for Healthy Chocolate Cheesecake Mousse

Fat-Free Greek Yogurt: Thick, tangy, and loaded with protein. It’s our base and gives that cheesecake creaminess. I like it straight from the fridge so the mousse sets up quicker.

Chocolate Protein Powder: Choose a good one. If you wouldn’t drink it as a shake, don’t add it here. I like whey isolate because it blends smooth, but use what you have.

Unsweetened Cocoa Powder: Just a little brings all the chocolatey depth. It leans more dark chocolate than milk, which helps balance the sweetness.

Sweetener: Use what you like. I go with erythritol or monk fruit when I want to keep things low sugar, but regular sugar works too if you’re not counting grams.

Vanilla Extract: A tiny splash warms up the chocolate flavor. It’s subtle, but you’d miss it if it weren’t there.

Water or Milk: This is just to thin the mix if it’s too thick. I usually start with a tablespoon and go from there. Almond milk works too.

Optional Toppings: Berries, dark chocolate shavings, maybe a dust of cinnamon if you’re feeling bold. I’ve even used a sprinkle of granola when I wanted a bit of crunch.

4) How to Make Healthy Chocolate Cheesecake Mousse

Step 1. Grab a bowl. If you’ve got a blender, even better. This recipe’s low fuss, so a fork or whisk works in a pinch too.

Step 2. Toss in the Greek yogurt, protein powder, cocoa, sweetener, vanilla, and splash of liquid. Don’t overthink the order, it’s all going the same place.

Step 3. Blend or stir until smooth. It might look thick at first, but it comes together fast. If it’s clumpy, add a bit more liquid and keep going.

Step 4. Spoon into ramekins, bowls, mugs—whatever’s clean. Top it or don’t. I usually go with berries and a pinch of shaved dark chocolate.

Step 5. Chill it for 20 minutes if you’ve got the time. If not, grab a spoon and get started. No judgment here.

5) Tips for Making Healthy Chocolate Cheesecake Mousse

If your protein powder is super sweet, ease up on the added sweetener. You can always stir more in later.

Want more of a cheesecake bite? Use a splash of lemon juice. It wakes things up in a good way and leans into that creamy-tart flavor.

Don’t skip the chill. Even five minutes in the fridge helps firm it up and gives you that mousse texture. Warm yogurt mousse? Not quite the same.

6) Making Healthy Chocolate Cheesecake Mousse Ahead of Time

I like to double the recipe and stash a few in the fridge for the week. They hold up for two or three days if you keep them covered.

If you’re planning to serve guests, make them in small glasses or jars. They look fancy and no one needs to know it took you five minutes tops.

Hold off on toppings until you’re ready to serve. Fresh fruit gets a bit sad sitting on yogurt too long. No one wants a mushy berry moment.

7) Storing Leftover Healthy Chocolate Cheesecake Mousse

Cover it tight. I use small jars or ramekins with lids. Keeps things fresh and stops it from picking up fridge smells. Nobody wants garlic-scented mousse.

Eat within 48 hours. It’s still safe after that, but the texture starts to shift. If you’re picky like me, you’ll taste the difference.

Want to meal prep? You can mix the dry stuff ahead and keep it in a little jar. When cravings hit, just stir it into yogurt and boom—instant mousse.
