Make this rich, velvety chocolate mousse using cottage cheese for a high-protein, low-carb dessert. It is simple to prepare in a blender for a quick, indulgent treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese, drained well
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup sweetener (like maple syrup or erythritol for low carb)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Place the drained cottage cheese, cocoa powder, sweetener, vanilla extract, and salt into a high-speed blender or food processor.
  2. Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Stop and scrape down the sides as needed to ensure no lumps remain. This may take 1 to 2 minutes.
  3. Taste the mousse and adjust sweetness if necessary.
  4. Divide the mousse evenly into small serving dishes or ramekins.
  5. Chill the mousse in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow it to set to a thicker, more mousse-like consistency.
  6. Serve cold as a protein packed sweet snack or healthy chocolate mousse.

Notes

  • For an even richer flavor, use dark cocoa powder.
  • If you prefer a thicker texture, chill the mixture for one hour or more.
  • For a keto friendly mousse, ensure your sweetener is zero-carb, such as monk fruit or stevia drops.
  • You can top this with fresh raspberries or a sprinkle of dark chocolate shavings.
