Easy Cottage Cheese Chocolate Mousse

Creamy, chocolatey, and packed with protein.

Total Time: 5 minutes | Servings: 2

1 cup Low-fat cottage cheese: Provides a creamy, protein-rich base.
1–2 tbsp Unsweetened cocoa powder: Adjust based on how dark you like your chocolate.
1–2 tbsp sweetener: Use stevia, monk fruit, or honey.
1 tsp Vanilla extract: For depth of flavor.
2 tbsp milk: almond milk or any milk of choice to help with blending.
Optional toppings: extra cocoa powder, dark chocolate shavings, or fresh berries.

Blend: Place the cottage cheese, cocoa powder, sweetener, vanilla, and milk into a blender or food processor. Blend for 30–60 seconds until the texture is completely smooth and creamy.
Adjust: Give the mousse a taste. If you prefer it sweeter or more chocolatey, add a little extra sweetener or cocoa and blend briefly again.
Chill (Optional): While you can eat this immediately, refrigerating it for 20–30 minutes will result in a firmer, chilled texture.
Serve: Spoon the mixture into bowls and garnish with your favorite toppings like berries or chocolate shavings.

Texture Hack: For an extra light and fluffy mousse, fold in a tablespoon of light whipped cream after you’ve finished blending.
Effortless: This is a “no-bake” dessert with very minimal cleanup.
Diet Friendly: This is an excellent low-SmartPoints dessert, roughly 2–3 points per serving depending on your choice of sweetener.
Batch Prep: You can easily double or triple this recipe to have healthy snacks ready for the whole week.
