Description
This 3-ingredient cottage cheese chocolate mousse is rich, creamy, and ready in just 5 minutes! Whipped cottage cheese gives it a light and silky texture and a major protein boost (almost 15 g per half cup serving!), making it a fun and satisfying snack or dessert—also perfect for meal prep
Ingredients
-
1 cup cottage cheese
-
½ cup dark chocolate chips, melted
-
2 Tbsp cacao or cocoa powder
-
Maple syrup *optional (I don’t usually add, but feel free to adjust to taste!)
-
Optional toppings: Regular or coconut whip or Greek yogurt (to top), fresh berries, walnuts
Instructions
-
Melt chocolate in the microwave in 20 second increments, stirring in between to ensure it doesn’t burn (it’s ok to remove when there’s a bit of unmelted chocolate left, give it a stir and the residual heat will finish the melting without burning)
-
Add cottage cheese, melted chocolate, and cocoa to a food processor and blend until smooth (make sure not to overmix as this can cause it to thin out).
-
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 5 days. When ready to eat, add toppings if using and enjoy!
