This greek yogurt mousse takes only two ingredients and can be whipped up in literally less than two minutes. And it’s completely healthy!

When you envision eating healthy, you might see yourself white-knuckling it through tasteless food. And dessert? You’re joking, right? This super easy, high-protein, low carb, low fat, dessert definitely says otherwise. It offers sweet options for healthy treats to add to any meal that you definitely don’t need to feel guilty about!

Now, full disclosure: we’ve been calling this mousse at our house for lack of a better term. This no-bake dessert does not have the light, fluffy texture of standard mousse, but it does taste a lot like it, and we love the rich creaminess the greek yogurt gives this dessert. As long as you’re not a mousse purist, this is an ideal dessert you can enjoy with out hurting your health goals. If you are a mousse purist, go ahead and give it another name, and enjoy!

Ingredients

This greek yogurt mousse takes 2 super simple ingredients that you can find at your grocery store. It’s cheap and super easy!

• Plain Greek Yogurt: Depending on your health goals, you can choose the kind of greek yogurt you’d like. You can use whole milk greek yogurt, or, if you’re cutting fat, non-fat greek yogurt also works. I prefer the whole milk because I think that the creamy greek yogurt makes a more appetizing final result. You can also used flavored yogurts instead of plain yogurt. I find that the regular plain gives me a good tart yogurt base. The flavored ones make this a little too sweet once you add the Jello powder. 
• Sugar-Free Jello Powder: This is my favorite part of this recipe. You can make this with literally any .3 oz package of Jello powder. Want lemon mousse? Buy lemon Jello. Lime? Raspberry? Strawberry? Cherry? The inventory at your local grocery store is the limit. My personal favorite tangy mousse is raspberry lemon, which I make with 1/2 a package of each flavor. That’s what you’re seeing in the pictures here. 

Step 1 | Mix it 

In a small bowl, use a small whisk to mix your yogurt and Jello powder until it’s a smooth and creamy yogurt mixture. That’s it! Unlike traditional mousse, there’s no separating egg whites and egg yolks. There’s no melted chocolate or extra steps. This is literally it!

If you want to make this in bulk by doubling, tripling, or even quadrupling this recipe, I’d recommend using a hand mixer to get your mousse completely smooth.

Step 2 | Eat it!

You can eat your mousse straight from the bowl, or you can put it into cute little dessert glasses and top with your favorite toppings. I love adding nuts, whipped cream, fresh berries or berry sauce, orange zest or lemon zest, or even small amounts of chopped chocolate or chocolate chips. My favorite combo is sliced almonds with fresh raspberries. It’s to die for!

Variations

This is another reason to love this recipe so much. You can create a ton of different flavors with only one minor substitution to the original recipe. Here are a few of my favorites: 

• Chocolate Mousse Recipe: Simply replace the Jello powder with sugar-free chocolate pudding powder. While it’s not a traditional chocolate mousse, it’s the perfect healthy option for chocolate lovers! For serious lovers of dark chocolate, Jello makes a sugar free dark chocolate pudding mix that has amazing dark chocolate flavor!
• White Chocolate Mousse: Just like with regular chocolate mousse, just replace the Jello powder with sugar-free white chocolate pudding powder. 
• Cherry Vanilla Mousse: Use cherry Jello powder and add 1 tsp vanilla extract. This one is fantastic topped with almonds and chopped cherries. 
• Lemon Raspberry Mousse: Use 1/2 a package of raspberry Jello powder, and 1/2 a package of lemon Jello powder. Top with fresh raspberries and a slice of lemon
