This cottage cheese chocolate mousse is a rich, creamy, high-protein dessert made with just three simple ingredients. It blends into a silky texture you’d never guess came from cottage cheese. Naturally sweetened, quick to prep, and totally satisfying.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups full-fat cottage cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (or to taste)
Instructions
- Add the cottage cheese, cocoa powder, and maple syrup to a high-speed blender or food processor.
- Blend on high until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides if needed.
- Spoon into jars or serving bowls and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill and set.
- Serve cold, plain or with your favorite toppings like berries, chocolate chips, or coconut whip.
Notes
- Use full-fat cottage cheese for the richest, smoothest texture. Low-fat works but the mousse won’t be quite as creamy.
- Blend it really well until completely smooth. You shouldn’t see any curds or chunks. A high-speed blender works best here.
- Taste before chilling so you can adjust the sweetness or chocolate level to your liking. Add more cocoa for richness or maple syrup for sweetness.
- Chill it for at least 2 hours to let the mousse set up properly. It gets thicker and creamier the longer it sits.
- Top it off with something fun like berries, chocolate chips, or a spoonful of peanut butter to take it to the next level.
