Description
A delightful dessert that combines creamy texture with rich chocolate flavor, using cottage cheese for a healthier twist.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup full fat cottage cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 to 3 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: 1 tablespoon milk or almond milk (for blending)
Instructions
- Add the cottage cheese to a blender or food processor.
- Add the cocoa powder, maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
- Blend for 30–60 seconds until the mixture becomes completely smooth and creamy.
- Stop and scrape down the sides of the blender with a spatula if needed, then blend again briefly until fully smooth.
- Taste the mousse and adjust sweetness if desired by adding a little more maple syrup or honey.
- Serve immediately for a soft mousse, or chill for about 30 minutes if you prefer a thicker texture.
Notes
Use full-fat cottage cheese for a creamier texture. For a fluffier mousse, fold in some whipped cream before serving.
