How to Make High Protein Chocolate Bites
For the layer
- Heat the oven to 350 F.
- Line an 8 x 8 baking pan with a parchment paper. (Cut a length of parchment paper long enough to line the bottom of the pan with extra hanging over the sides).
P.S. I recommend using a square springform or adjustable pastry frame for this recipe and for any mousse cake recipes.
- In a mixing bowl, combine all ingredients for the layer; mix thoroughly.
- Spread the batter into prepared pan and bake for about 25 min. or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan for 20 minutes. Do not remove from the pan!
For the mousse
- In a small microwave-safe bowl combine the unflavored gelatin and almond milk and let bloom for 5 min.
- Meanwhile, place Greek yogurt, ricotta cheese, sweetener, and cocoa powder into a blender and blend until smooth.
- In another small microwave-safe bowl melt the chocolate chips in the microwave until smooth.
- Put the bowl with the gelatin into a microwave for about 10 sec. until the gelatin is completely melted.
- Place the melted chocolate and melted gelatin into the blender with mousse mixture, and blend again to combine.
- Pour the mousse over the cake in an even layer. Refrigerate for 4-5 hours or overnight.
- Once the cake is set, remove it carefully (by holding for the edges of the parchment paper) from the pan and transfer onto a plate.
- Dust with additional cocoa powder then cut into small bites and enjoy!
