Ingredients
2 cups cottage cheese (4% fat, small curd)
4 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder (processed with alkali for smoother taste)
Optional: sweetener such as maple syrup, honey, or stevia to taste
Instructions
- Add cottage cheese and cocoa powder to a high-powered blender or food processor.
- Blend for 1–2 minutes until completely smooth and creamy.
- Taste and add sweetener if desired, blending again briefly.
- Spoon the mousse into small serving bowls or jars.
- Chill for at least 30 minutes for best texture, or serve immediately if preferred.
Notes
- Full-fat cottage cheese yields the creamiest mousse, but low-fat also works.
- Chilling helps firm up the texture, but it’s optional if you want to enjoy it right away.
- Blend thoroughly for the smoothest mousse consistency.
- Top with fresh berries, shaved chocolate, or nuts for extra flavor.
