Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese, full-fat
- 2–3 tbsp honey
- 1–2 tbsp cocoa powder (start with 1 tbsp, then adjust to taste)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
-
Blend the mousse
Add all ingredients to a food processor or blender. Blend on high until smooth and creamy. If the texture looks grainy, continue blending until it’s completely smooth. -
Chill (Optional)
If the mousse is too thin, allow it to set in the fridge for at least 1 hour to thicken. You can also add 1 tbsp chia seeds or flax seeds to thicken immediately. -
Serve & Top
Spoon into serving bowls and top with whipped cream, fresh fruit, or chocolate shavings for extra flavor and texture!
Additional Notes
- Cottage Cheese Tip: Use full-fat (4% milk fat) cottage cheese for the creamiest mousse. Be sure to drain any excess liquid before blending.
- Sweetness Adjustment: Adjust the honey to your sweetness preference.
- Texture Tip: If the mousse feels too thin, chilling it in the fridge helps it set, or add chia/flax seeds for a quicker fix.
Variations
- Chocolate Lovers: Add a handful of dark chocolate chips or a drizzle of melted chocolate on top.
- Vegan Option: Use plant-based cottage cheese and maple syrup for a dairy-free version.
- More Protein: Add a scoop of protein powder (chocolate flavor works great!) to boost protein content.
