Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat)
- 2-3 tbsp honey
- 1-2 tbsp cocoa powder (start with one and add to achieve your desired chocolatey-ness!)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Add Ingredients: Add all ingredients—cottage cheese, honey, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract—to a food processor or blender.
- Blend Smooth: Blend together on high speed until the mousse is completely smooth. If the texture appears grainy, continue blending until creamy and uniform.
- Serve: Transfer the mousse to serving dishes and top with your choice of whipped cream, fresh fruit, or chocolate shavings for an enhanced presentation and flavor.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of cocoa powder and honey based on your preferred sweetness and chocolate intensity.
- Using full-fat cottage cheese provides a creamier texture; low-fat versions can be used but may affect consistency.
- If you don’t have a food processor, a high-speed blender will work equally well.
- Chill the mousse for 30 minutes before serving for a firmer texture.
