Here’s a full recipe for Cottage Cheese Chocolate Mousse – creamy, rich, but lighter than the classic version:
Cottage Cheese Chocolate Mousse
Ingredients (4 servings)
1 cup (225 g) cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder (or Dutch-process for richer flavor)
3–4 tbsp sweetener of choice (honey, maple syrup, powdered sugar, or stevia/erythritol for sugar-free)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
1–2 tbsp milk (or cream, for extra richness) – optional, for consistency
Dark chocolate shavings or cocoa powder (for garnish)
Instructions
Blend the base
Add cottage cheese, cocoa powder, sweetener, vanilla, and salt into a food processor or high-speed blender.
Blend until completely smooth and creamy (1–2 minutes). Scrape down sides as needed.
Adjust consistency
If too thick, add 1 tbsp milk/cream at a time until mousse-like texture is reached.
Chill
Transfer into serving glasses or bowls.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour for flavors to deepen and texture to firm up.
Serve
Garnish with dark chocolate shavings, berries, or a dollop of whipped cream.
Variations
High Protein: Add 1 scoop of chocolate protein powder while blending.
Extra Chocolatey: Melt 2 oz dark chocolate, let it cool slightly, and blend in.
Nutty: Swirl in 1 tbsp almond or peanut butter before chilling.
Sugar-Free: Use monk fruit, erythritol, or stevia as sweetener.
