Ingredients
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 little milk of choice to adjust consistency
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Gather all ingredients – full-fat cottage cheese, creamy peanut butter, unsweetened cocoa powder, and your preferred sweetener.
- Blend the Mixture: In a food processor or blender, combine the cottage cheese, peanut butter, cocoa powder, and sweetener. Blend on high speed until the mixture becomes creamy and smooth. If the mousse is too thick, gradually add a little milk of your choice until the desired consistency is reached.
- Serve: Spoon the mousse into one large or two smaller serving dishes. Serve immediately and enjoy your creamy, protein-rich treat!
Notes
- Use full-fat cottage cheese for the creamiest texture and richest flavor.
- You can adjust the sweetness to your taste by adding more or less sweetener.
- If you want a smoother mousse, a splash of milk such as almond, soy, or regular milk helps lighten the texture.
- This recipe is best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated for a few hours to firm up slightly.
