- 1/2 cup Chocolate Chips (semi-sweet, dark, or sweet chips can be used)
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- Warm the Milk: Pour milk into a saucepan and place it over low heat. Warm the milk until it is hot but not boiling.

- Rest the Mixture: Remove the saucepan from heat and let the chocolate milk mixture rest for 3-5 minutes to cool slightly.
- Combine Ingredients: Add honey, vanilla extract, and Greek yogurt to the chocolate mixture. Stir thoroughly until there are no lumps. For a smoother texture, use a hand mixer.
- Chill the Mousse: Pour the mousse mixture into ramekins and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
