# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • Ready in 10 minutes — no baking, no cooking, no waiting.
  • High in protein — 22 g per serving thanks to Greek yogurt and protein powder.
  • Gluten-free and vegetarian — naturally free from gluten and suitable for vegetarians.
  • Deeply chocolatey — unsweetened cocoa powder delivers rich flavour without the extra sugar.
  • Endlessly customisable — adapt the sweetener, toppings, and flavourings to suit your taste.
02 -
  • Fold in whipped cream — for extra fluffiness, fold in 1/2 cup whipped cream or whipped coconut cream after beating.
  • Lower-sugar option — swap maple syrup for a calorie-free sweetener to reduce sugar without sacrificing sweetness.
  • Flavour boosters — try a pinch of espresso powder or a little orange zest folded in for an elevated flavour profile.
  • Pairing — serve alongside a glass of ruby port or a bold espresso for a truly indulgent experience.
  • Check your labels — the mousse contains dairy and may contain traces of soy or nuts depending on the protein powder used; always verify allergen information.
