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.
