Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat) A creamy base that brings protein to the mousse; works equally well with low-fat alternatives if desired.

  • 1-2 tbsp cocoa powder Start with one tablespoon and increase to achieve your desired level of chocolate flavor.
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract Enhances the chocolate flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Add all ingredients to a food processor or blender.
  2. Blend until smooth, ensuring the cottage cheese emulsifies with the cocoa and honey.
  3. If the mousse looks grainy, continue blending until it reaches creamy perfection.
  4. Serve topped with whipped cream, fresh fruit, or chocolate shavings.
