Chocolate Cottage Cheese Mousse

Make this easy, healthy Chocolate Cottage Cheese Mousse! A high-protein, no-bake dessert blended smooth in minutes with cocoa powder and natural sweetener.

Ingredients

Scale

Here’s the complete list of ingredients, with precise measurements:

  • 2 cups cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Garnish:

  • Dark chocolate shavings

These simple quantities make about 4 servings.

Use good quality cocoa powder for the best flavor.

Instructions

Let’s walk through this lightning-fast process:

1. Combine Ingredients:

  • In the container of your blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, cocoa powder, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract.

2. Blend Until Smooth:

  • Secure the lid and blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. This might take 1-2 minutes, depending on your blender. Stop and scrape down the sides of the container as needed to ensure everything is incorporated and there are no white streaks of cottage cheese remaining. The goal is a uniform chocolate color and silky texture.

3. Portion into Glasses:

  • Spoon the smooth chocolate mousse evenly into four serving glasses or small bowls.

4. Chill:

  • Place the serving glasses in the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour before serving. Chilling helps the mousse to firm up slightly and allows the flavors to meld.

5. Garnish and Serve:

  • Just before serving, garnish the chilled mousse with dark chocolate shavings. Serve immediately.

A rich, healthy dessert ready with minimal effort!
