Ingredients
-
1 cup cottage cheese (any fat percentage works; full-fat yields an extra creamy texture)
-
3 tbsp dark chocolate (melted)
-
1–2 tbsp cocoa powder (adjust to taste)
-
1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
-
1–2 tbsp maple syrup or honey (optional, for extra sweetness)
-
Pinch of sea salt (optional, to enhance the chocolate flavor)
Step-by-Step Instructions
-
Blend the Base: Add the cottage cheese, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, sweetener (if using), and a pinch of salt into a high-speed blender or food processor.
-
Achieve Silkiness: Blend on high until completely smooth. Be sure to stop and scrape down the sides as needed to ensure no curds remain.
-
Add Chocolate: Pour in the melted dark chocolate and blend again until fully incorporated and ultra-creamy.
-
Chill and Set: Transfer the mousse into serving cups or jars. Place them in the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 to 2 hours to achieve a thicker, true mousse-like texture.
-
Serve: Top with fresh berries, whipped cream, or shaved chocolate, and enjoy!
