Ingredients
2 cups cottage cheese
1/2 cup unsweetened Dutch-processed cocoa powder
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup dark chocolate, melted and cooled
Instructions
Place the cottage cheese into a high-speed blender or food processor.
Blend on high for two minutes until all curds are gone and the mixture is perfectly smooth.
Add the cocoa powder, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
Process for an additional sixty seconds until fully combined.
Drizzle in the melted dark chocolate while the processor is running to ensure a uniform, streak-free consistency.
Transfer the mousse into individual serving ramekins.
Refrigerate for at least one hour to allow the texture to firm up.
Serve chilled with a garnish of fresh berries or a touch of sea salt.
Notes
Ensure you blend the cottage cheese until completely smooth before adding other ingredients to achieve the best mousse texture. Using full-fat cottage cheese is recommended for the richest mouthfeel. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
