Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How is chocolate protein fluff different from chocolate mousse?
A: Traditional mousse uses whipped heavy cream, egg yolks, and melted chocolate. This fluff uses whipped Greek yogurt, cocoa, and protein powder for a lighter, higher-protein dessert with fewer calories.
Q: Can I use casein protein powder?
A: Yes! Casein protein powder is naturally thicker than whey and creates an exceptionally dense, voluminous pudding-fluff texture.
Q: How long will leftover chocolate protein fluff stay fluffy?
A: It maintains its light, airy texture for up to 3 days in the refrigerator. Stir gently before serving.
