Ingredients
- 2 cup high-quality cottage cheese
- 1/3 cup natural peanut butter
- 3 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup mini dark chocolate chips
Instructions
1. 1. In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy.
2. 2. Add the cocoa powder and blend until fully incorporated. Gently stir in the mini chocolate chips by hand to maintain the texture.
3. 3. Taste the mousse and adjust the sweetness as needed. If the mousse is too thick, add 1–2 tablespoon of milk to reach your desired consistency.
4. 4. Transfer the mousse into serving bowls or glasses. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the mousse to firm up slightly.
5. 5. Garnish with extra chocolate chips, a drizzle of peanut butter, or a sprinkle of cocoa powder, if desired. Enjoy this chilled, guilt-free treat!
Notes
For a dairy-free version, use a cashew-based cottage cheese alternative.
For a nut-free version, substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter or tahini.
To make it sugar-free, replace maple syrup with a sugar-free sweetener like stevia or monk fruit.
