Scale
Ingredients
- 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (e.g., Hershey’s Dark Special)
- 1–2 tablespoons sweetener of choice (e.g., agave nectar)
- Optional: a splash of milk of choice (to thin if needed)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather 1 cup of full-fat cottage cheese, 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter, 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1 to 2 tablespoons of your preferred sweetener.
- Blend Mixture: Place the cottage cheese, peanut butter, cocoa powder, and sweetener into a food processor or blender. Blend on high speed until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. If the mousse is too thick, add a small amount of milk gradually until the desired consistency is reached.
- Serve: Spoon the mousse into one large or two smaller serving dishes. Enjoy immediately as a nutritious dessert or refrigerate briefly if you prefer it chilled.
Notes
- Use full-fat cottage cheese for the creamiest texture and best flavor.
- Adjust the sweetener quantity to your taste preference.
- Adding a splash of milk helps achieve a mousse-like consistency if blending results in a thicker mix.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days for freshness.
- For a vegan variation, substitute cottage cheese with a plant-based alternative and use vegan peanut butter.
