Decadent • Protein-Packed • No-Bake • Guilt-Free

This Cottage Cheese Chocolate Mousse is rich, creamy, and secretly healthy. Made with cottage cheese and cocoa powder, it delivers a smooth, indulgent chocolate flavor while packing in protein. Perfect for dessert, post-workout, or a late-night sweet craving—no guilt allowed.

📝 Ingredients

1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Optional: whipped cream, shaved chocolate, or berries for topping

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Add cottage cheese to a high-speed blender or food processor.
Blend until completely smooth and creamy (scrape sides as needed).
Add cocoa powder, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt.
Blend again until silky and chocolatey.
Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
Chill for 20–30 minutes for a thicker, mousse-like texture.
Serve topped with whipped cream or your favorite toppings.

🧠 Notes

Blending well is key for a smooth texture—no lumps.
Full-fat cottage cheese gives the creamiest result.
Chilling enhances flavor and thickness.

💡 Tips

Add a splash of milk if the mousse is too thick.
For extra protein, mix in chocolate protein powder.
Swap honey/maple syrup for stevia or monk fruit for low-sugar.
Add espresso powder for a mocha twist.
