🛒 Ingredients

• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• ½ cup low-fat cottage cheese
• 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1–2 tbsp zero-calorie sweetener, to taste
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk, as needed
• Pinch of salt
• 1 tbsp sugar-free chocolate chips, optional

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Add the ingredients: Place the Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, cocoa powder, sweetener, vanilla, almond milk, and salt into a blender or food processor.
2. Blend until smooth: Process for 1–2 minutes until completely creamy and silky. Scrape down the sides if necessary.
3. Adjust the texture: Add another splash of almond milk if the mousse is too thick. For a richer chocolate flavor, add a little extra cocoa powder.
4. Taste: Adjust the sweetness according to your preference.
5. Chill: Divide the mousse between 2–3 small serving glasses or containers. Refrigerate for at least 30–60 minutes.
6. Add toppings: Before serving, sprinkle with sugar-free chocolate chips, cocoa powder, fresh berries, or a small spoonful of whipped topping if desired.
