Ingredients

Buttery Cookie Crumble

Chocolate mousse

Vanilla bean Greek yogurt whipped cream

Garnish

Instructions

  1. Step
    In a small bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers and melted butter until evenly coated. Divide evenly among four small serving glasses, pressing lightly into the bottom of each glass. Set aside.

Prepare Chocolate Mixture

  1. Step
    Place the chocolate chips in a medium heatproof bowl.
  2. Step
    Heat the ½ cup whipping cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to bubble around the edges, 2–3 minutes. Immediately pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips. Add a pinch of kosher salt and let stand for 1 minute, then whisk until completely melted, smooth and glossy.
  3. Step
    Finish the chocolate mixture. Let cool for 5–10 minutes, until warm but no longer hot. Whisk in the ½ cup Greek yogurt and ½ tsp vanilla extract until smooth. Set aside.

Prepare the Whipped Cream

  1. Step
    Using a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, or a hand mixer and a large bowl, combine the ¾ cup cold whipping cream, powdered sugar, vanilla bean paste and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Whip on medium speed until soft to medium peaks form.
  2. Step
    Add the ¼ cup Greek yogurt and mix briefly on low speed until just combined and fluffy. Do not overmix.
  3. Step
    Refrigerate approximately ½ cup of the whipped cream mixture for serving. The rest will be mixed into the chocolate in the next step.

Combine and Garnish

  1. Step
    Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the remaining whipped cream into the chocolate mixture in 2–3 additions, taking care not to knock out too much air.
  2. Step
    Spoon the chocolate mousse evenly over the cookie crumble in each glass. Cover and refrigerate until chilled and set, approximately 30 minutes.
  3. Step
    Top each glass with a dollop of the reserved vanilla bean Greek yogurt whipped cream, milk chocolate shavings and a pinch of flaky sea salt.
