Chocolate Silk Mousse (Creamy Cottage Cheese Dessert)

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Chill Time (optional): 30 minutes
Servings: 1–2

A smooth, rich chocolate mousse made by blending cottage cheese with cocoa and vanilla until silky and glossy.

🛒 Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
    (low-fat or full-fat both work; full-fat gives a creamier texture)

  • 2 to 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 2 to 3 tablespoons granulated sweetener or sugar
    (use according to taste)

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 small pinch sea salt

Optional toppings:

  • chopped nuts

  • chocolate chips

  • shaved dark chocolate

  • fresh berries

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Add Ingredients to Blender

Place the following into a high-speed blender or food processor:

  • cottage cheese

  • cocoa powder

  • sweetener

  • vanilla extract

  • salt

Make sure the cocoa powder is evenly spread so it blends smoothly.

2. Blend Until Smooth

Blend on high speed for 1–2 minutes.

Stop and scrape down the sides if needed.

Continue blending until:

  • no cottage cheese curds remain

  • texture becomes completely smooth

  • mixture looks glossy and thick

This step is essential for achieving a mousse-like texture.

3. Adjust Texture (If Needed)

If the mixture is too thick:

  • add 1 tablespoon water or milk

  • blend again for 10–15 seconds

Repeat only if necessary until smooth and spoonable.

4. Taste and Adjust

Taste the mousse:

  • For deeper chocolate flavor → add more cocoa powder

  • For sweeter flavor → add more sweetener

Blend briefly after any adjustment.

5. Chill (Optional but Recommended)

Transfer the mousse to a serving bowl or jar.

Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow:

  • flavor to deepen

  • texture to firm slightly

6. Garnish and Serve

Just before serving, top with:

  • chopped walnuts

  • chocolate chips

  • fresh berries

  • coconut flakes

Serve cold or slightly chilled.

💡 Helpful Tips

  • Use a powerful blender for the smoothest result.

  • Sift cocoa powder first to prevent clumps.

  • For a richer taste, add 1 teaspoon melted butter or cream.

  • Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
