Description
A creamy, high-protein chocolate mousse made with just three ingredients—cottage cheese, cocoa powder, and maple syrup—ready in 2 minutes for a rich yet nutritious dessert.
Ingredients
1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat for creamiest texture, or low-fat)
1/4 cup cocoa powder (regular or dark)
2–3 tbsp maple syrup or powdered sugar (adjust to taste)
Instructions
- Add cottage cheese, cocoa powder, and maple syrup to a high-speed blender or food processor.
- Blend until completely smooth, scraping down sides as needed.
- Transfer to serving bowls and enjoy immediately, or chill for at least 1 hour for a thicker texture.
Notes
- Sweetener swaps: honey, keto maple syrup, or allulose work well.
- Flavor boosters: vanilla extract, espresso powder, or fresh berries.
- For a nutty twist, blend in peanut butter or almond butter.
- Make it dairy-free with plant-based cottage cheese.
- Top with fruit, shaved chocolate, or whipped cream for serving.
