Description

This Cottage Cheese Chocolate Mousse is the ultimate guilt-free indulgence! Creamy, rich, and ready in just 10 minutes, it blends the goodness of protein-packed cottage cheese with the decadence of dark chocolate. Perfect as a post-dinner treat or a healthy snack, this no-bake mousse is low in sugar, high in flavor, and irresistibly smooth.


Ingredients

Scale

1 cup cottage cheese (preferably full-fat for creaminess)

2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of salt

Optional toppings: dark chocolate shavings, fresh berries, or a dollop of whipped cream


Instructions

Step 1: Blend It Smooth

Add the cottage cheese, cocoa powder, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and salt to a high-speed blender or food processor.
👉 Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. No lumps!

Step 2: Taste & Adjust

Taste the mousse and adjust sweetness if needed. You can add a little extra cocoa or sweetener to suit your palate.

Step 3: Chill & Serve

Spoon the mousse into small serving glasses or bowls.
⏳ Chill for at least 30 minutes in the fridge for a firmer texture and richer flavor.

Step 4: Garnish

Top with chocolate shavings, berries, or a swirl of whipped cream.
Serve chilled and enjoy!

Notes

Want it extra chocolatey? Add a few melted dark chocolate chips while blending.

For a dairy-free version, try silken tofu instead of cottage cheese.

Add a dash of espresso powder for a mocha twist!
