Here’s a high-protein chocolate mousse made with blended cottage cheese—creamy, chocolatey, and packed with protein 🍫💪
🍫 High-Protein Chocolate Cottage Cheese Mousse
🛒 Ingredients (Serves 2–3)
- 1 cup Cottage cheese
- 2–3 tbsp unsweetened Cocoa powder
- 1–2 tbsp sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or stevia)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Optional: pinch of salt
- Optional toppings: fresh berries, shaved chocolate, or nuts
👨🍳 Instructions
1. Blend the Base
- Place cottage cheese, cocoa powder, sweetener, vanilla, and salt in a blender or food processor
- Blend until completely smooth and creamy (1–2 minutes)
2. Chill
- Transfer mousse to serving cups
- Refrigerate at least 30 minutes for a firmer texture
3. Serve
- Add optional toppings like berries, nuts, or extra cocoa powder
- Enjoy as a high-protein dessert or snack
🔥 Tips
- Use low-fat or full-fat cottage cheese depending on your calorie preference
- Adjust sweetness to taste—protein powder (chocolate or vanilla) can be added for extra protein
- For extra fluffiness, fold in lightly whipped cream or aquafaba before chilling
If you want, I can also give a no-blender version where you simply whisk cottage cheese into a mousse-like texture—still creamy and protein-packed.
Do you want me to do that?
