Make this Healthy Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse with just three simple ingredients: vanilla Greek yogurt, cocoa powder, and peanut butter!
Talk about a parfait that’s almost too pretty to eat. This recipe combines all of my favorite flavors into one bite, and only takes 5 minutes to prepare! Just look how easy it is to make…
Easy Peasy Parfaits
This parfait layers a healthy peanut butter chocolate mouse with fresh fruit and a few dark chocolate chips. So, what do you need for the mousse? GET THIS- only three ingredients:
- Vanilla Greek Yogurt
- Cocoa Powder
- Peanut Butter
You wouldn’t guess by looking at the above ingredients…but this stuff tastes EXACTLY like traditional peanut butter chocolate mousse that typically packs quite a few more ingredients, and requires WAY more prep time. The consistency is right on, and the flavor is out of this world.
High Protein Dessert
We’re big fans of the fact that this peanut butter chocolate mousse is a high protein dessert! Our motto: when in doubt, choose a snack or dessert that’s high in protein. Can’t go wrong with Greek yogurt! Or all-natural peanut butter!
And if you want even more protein, you can sub the cocoa powder for equal parts chocolate protein powder. GENIUS.
Nut Butter Alternatives
We love love love the creaminess that peanut butter adds to this recipe, but if you have another nut butter of choice, feel free to sub in equal parts of that! Including:
- Cashew butter
- Almond butter
- Hazelnut butter
Pro Tip: if you’re not using a DRIPPY nut butter, you may need to play with the ratio of Greek yogurt (liquid) to cocoa powder (dry ingredient) to get your desired consistency.
Topping Ideas
Top this delicious peanut butter chocolate mousse with any (or all?!) of the following toppings to round out this oh so very fun dessert:
- Mini chocolate chips
- Sliced strawberries
- Sliced bananas
- Mandarin oranges
- Fresh raspberries
- Fresh blueberries
- Hot fudge
- Chocolate syrup
- Drizzle of peanut butter
- Dollop of whipped cream
How to Store Mousse
This peanut butter chocolate mousse will keep in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 5 days — but we’re . betting you won’t be able to keep it around that long 😀

Wow super Delicious <3 Lovely
Awesome, rich and satisfying! I used plain Greek yogurt, but added Truvia for sweetener, a splash of vanilla and toasted almonds. Try freezing it for 45 minutes for a nice frozen treat. Delicious!
Oh my gosh that sounds amazing!
Where can I buy those jars ? That’s the perfect size for desset
I believe I got these jars from Sur La Table!
Looks delicious! only question is how can this only have 113 calories since the yogurt alone has 100? I know there are more than 13 calories in one Tablespoon of peanut butter. Can you update with new nutrition data?
Thanks!
I love these kinds of easy recipes! My breakfast routine has gotten pretty sad, like peanut butter on toast every day sad. Definitely upping my game and making this next week!
Random question – do you do your videos on your DSLR with an overhead tripod or did you get a video camera setup? The ones I’ve seen on your site look so sharp and absolutely great! Nice work!
PB ON TOAST IS NEVER SAD. Seriously so satisfying! I use a DLSR on a tripod. I use a very similar setup to Show Me the Yummy and actually just bought a bunch of gear from their post on shooting video. Check it out here —> https://theblogvillage.com/fast-motion-assembly-videos/
Thanks for the detailed response Lee! So helpful. 🙂
Yum! I made a variation of this all the time. Change it up with what I have on hand, but can’t go wrong with PB!
THE BEST SNACK EVER, right?!
This looks amazing!! I love how simple it is. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, Sam!
Looks so good! Definitely pinning this 🙂 though I would sub the yoplait for fage plain yogurt. Do you think that would taste good?
