Make this rich, creamy chocolate mousse using cottage cheese. It is a high-protein, low-carb dessert that requires only three simple ingredients and minimal preparation time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons sweetener (like erythritol or maple syrup)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place the cottage cheese, cocoa powder, sweetener, and vanilla extract (if using) into a high-speed blender or food processor.
  2. Blend the mixture until it becomes completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. This may take 1 to 2 minutes to eliminate all lumps.
  3. Taste the mousse and add more sweetener if you prefer a sweeter flavor. Blend briefly to combine.
  4. Divide the mousse into small serving dishes or ramekins.
  5. Chill the mousse in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow it to set and firm up slightly.
  6. Serve cold as a quick chocolate fix or a healthy indulgence.

Notes

  • For a thicker, more decadent texture, use frozen cottage cheese cubes in place of fresh cottage cheese.
  • If you want a richer chocolate flavor, use dark cocoa powder.
  • You can top this protein packed sweet treat with fresh berries or a sprinkle of sea salt before serving.
  • This recipe works well for meal prep; store individual servings in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
