Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups cottage cheese (make sure it’s smooth and creamy, not chunky)
- ¼ cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- ¼ cup sweetener of choice (like honey, maple syrup, or stevia)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
- 2 tbsp dark chocolate chips (optional, for extra chocolatey goodness)
Instructions:
- Blend the cottage cheese: Place the cottage cheese in a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth and creamy, with no lumps.
- Add the cocoa powder: Once the cottage cheese is smooth, add in the cocoa powder and blend again until fully incorporated.
- Sweeten and flavor: Add your sweetener, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend again to combine all the ingredients.
- Chill (optional): If you prefer a thicker texture, refrigerate the mousse for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help it set.
- Serve & garnish: Spoon into serving dishes and top with a few chocolate chips or a sprinkle of cocoa powder for a little extra flair.
Enjoy your mousse! You can make it ahead and keep it chilled in the fridge for a few days. It’s like a healthy twist on a classic chocolate mousse!
