🥣 Ingredients

• 1 cup cottage cheese
• ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1–2 tablespoons powdered sweetener, to taste
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt
• 1–2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk, if needed

Optional Toppings

• Chopped peanuts
• Sugar-free chocolate chips
• Cocoa powder
• Thin drizzle of peanut butter
• Fresh strawberries or raspberries

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Add the Ingredients

Place the cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, peanut butter, cocoa powder, sweetener, vanilla, and salt into a high-speed blender or food processor.

2. Blend Until Silky Smooth

Blend for 1–2 minutes, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides.

Continue blending until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy with no visible cottage cheese curds.

3. Adjust the Texture

If the mousse is too thick, add almond milk 1 teaspoon at a time until you reach your preferred consistency.

Taste and add more sweetener if desired.

4. Chill

Spoon the mousse into individual dessert cups or small bowls.

Refrigerate for at least 30–60 minutes.

For an extra-thick, chilled mousse, let it rest in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight.

5. Add Toppings

Before serving, sprinkle with chopped peanuts, cocoa powder, or sugar-free chocolate chips.

A small drizzle of peanut butter on top makes it extra delicious! 🥜🍫

💡 Pro Tips

• Blend thoroughly—this is the secret to making cottage cheese taste completely smooth and mousse-like.
• Use natural peanut butter for a strong peanut flavor.
• If your peanut butter is unsalted, add a small pinch of salt to enhance the chocolate.
• For a richer mousse, use full-fat cottage cheese.
• Chill overnight for the thickest texture.
• Add a tiny pinch of espresso powder for an even deeper chocolate flavor.

❓ Quick Q&A

Can you taste the cottage cheese?
When blended completely smooth, the cottage cheese flavor becomes very mild. The cocoa and peanut butter provide most of the flavor.

Can I make this without Greek yogurt?
Yes. Replace it with additional cottage cheese, although the texture and flavor will be slightly different.

Can I use powdered peanut butter?
Absolutely. It works well and can create a lighter mousse. You may need a little extra liquid to achieve the desired consistency.

How long does it last?
Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Can I make it sugar-free?
Yes. Use an unsweetened cocoa powder and your preferred zero-sugar sweetener.
