Blend Until Smooth:
Add cottage cheese, cocoa powder, sweetener, vanilla, and milk to a blender or food processor.

Taste & Adjust:
Check sweetness — add more erythritol or a splash of milk if you want it lighter. -
Chill:
Transfer to serving bowls and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (helps it firm and develop that mousse texture). -
Serve:
