heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form and refrigerate.

In a bowl, mix egg yolk with sugar until pale and thick.

Prepare a double boiler with an inch of water and melt bittersweet chocolate chips with a little butter, water, and instant espresso powder.

Temper the egg yolk mixture with a small amount of melted chocolate, then combine with the rest of the chocolate mixture.

Cook the chocolate mixture on the double boiler until thickened, stirring constantly.

Whip egg whites until stiff peaks form.

Fold the whipped cream and egg whites into the cooled chocolate mixture until combined.

Divide the mousse into two trifle dishes and cover with plastic wrap.

Refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours or overnight to set.
