Ingredients
  

For the Mousse
  • 1 cup cottage cheese full-fat
  • 2-3 tbsp honey Start with 2 tbsp and add more to taste
  • 1-2 tbsp cocoa powder Start with 1 tbsp and add more for a richer chocolate flavor
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Equipment

  • Food processor or blender

Method
 

  1. Combine the cottage cheese, honey, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract in a food processor or blender.
  2. Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. If the mousse appears grainy, continue blending until smooth.
  3. Serve immediately, or for a thicker consistency, chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. You can also add 1 tablespoon of chia seeds or flax seeds to help thicken the mixture more quickly.
  4. Top with whipped cream, fresh fruit, or chocolate shavings if desired.

Notes

For the best texture and flavor, use full-fat or whole milk cottage cheese (4% milk fat). Drain any excess liquid from the cottage cheese before blending, especially if there is a lot of liquid at the top.
If your mousse seems too thin, chilling it in the refrigerator for at least an hour will help it thicken. Alternatively, adding 1 tablespoon of chia seeds or flax seeds can also help achieve a thicker consistency more rapidly.
