Description

This Cottage Cheese Chocolate Mousse is a creamy, protein-packed dessert that combines the richness of cocoa with the lightness of cottage cheese. Sweetened with maple syrup and thickened with chia seeds, it’s a healthier twist on a classic treat.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (2% fat recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons chia seeds

Instructions

  • Blend Ingredients:
    • Combine cottage cheese, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and chia seeds in a blender.
    • Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed, for about 30-45 seconds.
  • Chill the Mousse:
    • Transfer the mixture into a jar or serving cups.
    • Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the mousse to thicken.
  • Serve:
    • Add your preferred toppings, such as crushed peanuts, berries, or a dollop of whipped cream.
    • Enjoy as a satisfying, nutritious dessert.

Notes

  • For a thinner consistency, add a splash of milk during blending.
  • Adjust sweetness to taste by adding more maple syrup, honey, or a sugar-free sweetener.
  • Letting the mousse chill longer allows the chia seeds to thicken it further.
  • For extra indulgence, sprinkle with chocolate shavings or drizzle with melted dark chocolate.
