Ingredients
1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
2 tbsp Dutch-processed cocoa powder
2 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/4 cup dark chocolate, melted and cooled
Instructions
Combine the cottage cheese, maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a high-speed blender.
Pulse for 60 seconds until the cottage cheese curds are completely smooth.
Add the cocoa powder and pulse again until fully incorporated.
With the blender running on low, slowly drizzle in the melted dark chocolate to emulsify.
Transfer the mousse into individual bowls or glass jars and serve immediately.
Notes
Ensure the cottage cheese is blended until completely smooth for the best texture. If a thicker mousse is desired, chill the glasses in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving. You can substitute maple syrup with honey or agave if preferred.
