- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Toppings
- Whipped cream
- Chocolate shavings or fresh berries
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Measure out 2 cups of full-fat cottage cheese, 4 to 5 tablespoons of honey, 3 to 4 tablespoons of cocoa powder, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to ensure all ingredients are ready to blend.

Notes
- Start with 4 tablespoons of honey and 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder; adjust to taste by adding an extra tablespoon if needed.
- Using full-fat cottage cheese creates a creamier texture and richer flavor.
- The mousse can be chilled before serving for a firmer texture.
- For a vegan version, substitute cottage cheese with a dairy-free alternative and use maple syrup instead of honey.
- Use a high-powered blender or food processor for the smoothest consistency.
