Skyr Chocolate Mousse
Skyr is a delicious Icelandic cheese (although it has the consistency of Greek yoghurt) which is naturally high in protein and low in fat. Our Lindt Master Chocolatiers have worked their magic and used it to create this beautifully light and creamy chocolate mousse using our exquisite EXCELLENCE 70% Cocoa Dark Chocolate.
NOTE: This recipe contains partially cooked eggs so is not suitable for young children, pregnant women, the elderly or other vulnerable groups.
Chocolatier’s Tip
You can also serve with seasonal berries, if you prefer. If making this recipe for someone following a gluten free diet, always check the manufacturer's label to ensure your ingredients are free from gluten.
