🍨 Cottage Cheese Chocolate Mousse

- 1 cup cottage cheese (low-fat or full-fat, your choice)
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2–3 tbsp maple syrup or honey (to taste)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt

- Fresh berries
- Whipped cream
- Crushed nuts or cacao nibs
Instructions
- Blend Until Silky:
Add cottage cheese, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt to a food processor or blender.
Blend for 1–2 minutes, scraping down sides as needed, until completely smooth and creamy.
(Add a splash of milk if needed for easier blending.) - Chill:
Spoon into small bowls or jars.
Chill for 30 minutes to 1 hour for best flavor and texture. - Serve:
Top with berries, chocolate shavings, or a dollop of whipped cream.
💡 Tips:
- For a richer flavor, add 1 tbsp of melted dark chocolate or a spoonful of peanut butter before blending.
- To make it high-protein WW or healthy snack-friendly, use low-fat cottage cheese and sugar-free cocoa with a few drops of stevia.
- Want a frozen mousse treat? Freeze for 1–2 hours for a creamy, ice cream-like texture.
