Cottage Cheese Chocolate Mousse
Ingredients
1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
2–3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
2–4 tbsp sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or sugar-free option like stevia/erythritol)
1 tsp vanilla extract
2–4 tbsp milk (any kind, to adjust texture)
Pinch of salt
Optional add-ins:
1–2 tbsp melted dark chocolate (for extra richness)
1 tbsp peanut butter or almond butter
Chocolate chips or berries for topping
Instructions
Blend until smooth
Add cottage cheese to a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth and creamy (this is key for mousse texture).

Add cocoa powder, sweetener, vanilla, and salt. Blend again until fully combined.
Adjust texture
Add milk gradually and blend until you reach a silky, mousse-like consistency.
Taste & tweak
Adjust sweetness or cocoa as needed.
