Chocolate Cottage Cheese Mousse
- Cook Time: 5 minutes
- Total Time: 5 minutes
- Diet: High-Protein, Vegetarian
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups full-fat cottage cheese (4% milkfat works best for creaminess)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 pinch of sea salt
- Optional: Dark chocolate chips or fresh berries for topping
Instructions
- Place the cottage cheese, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt into a high-speed blender or a food processor. Ensure the lid is secured tightly before starting.
- Blend the mixture on high speed for about 1 to 2 minutes. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides with a spatula once or twice. Continue blending until there are absolutely no visible curds and the mixture looks like a shiny, smooth chocolate pudding.
- Transfer the mousse into individual serving bowls or glass jars. While you can eat it immediately, the texture becomes much more “mousse-like” if you let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set.
- Once chilled, remove from the fridge and add your favorite toppings. A sprinkle of chocolate chips, a few fresh raspberries, or a dollop of whipped cream adds a wonderful finishing touch.
