I found a recipe for a Chocolate Chia Mousse online a few years ago ad since then, I changed it many times, by adding, changing or taking away ingredients and changing it into Gluten and Lactose Free Chocolate Chia Mousse, to be Low FODMAP.

 

“It’s the easiest dessert in the world.”

 

Whenever I have craving for something sweet or specifically for chocolate, I make it. The worst is waiting for it to set!

I used here a lactose free milk, but it is your personal preference, you can use any suitable Low Fodmap, lactose free or non dairy milk, which you like.

Also, I used sweetener, but if you don’t count calories, you can easily replace it with sugar with a similar content.

Lactose free yogurt is necessary to be added as well as milk, so the consistency is a bit thicker. But you do not need to look for a thick, Greek style lactose free yogurt, because chia seeds with make the mousse ticken anyway, therefore an usual yogurt will do.

 

 

This recipe has been approved by a Low FODMAP dietitian, Evelyn Toner. Evelyn does online consultations, including with those with IBS and wanting to start a Low FODMAP diet.
