Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons sweetener (e.g., stevia or erythritol)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon almond milk

Instructions

  2. Add Cocoa Powder: Stir in the unsweetened cocoa powder to infuse rich chocolate flavor into the mixture.

  4. Vanilla Extract: Pour in the vanilla extract to enhance and deepen the overall taste.
  5. Mix in Heavy Cream: Add heavy cream to create a smooth, creamy texture and increase richness.
  6. Season with Salt: Sprinkle the salt to bring out and balance the flavors in the mousse.
  7. Add Almond Milk: Pour the almond milk for extra creaminess and to achieve the desired consistency.
  8. Blend Mixture: Use a hand blender or immersion blender on medium speed to blend everything until smooth and mousse-like.
  9. Scrape Bowl Sides: Occasionally stop to scrape down the sides to ensure all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  10. Taste and Adjust Sweetness: Sample the mousse and add more sweetener if necessary to suit your taste preference.
  11. Transfer to Serving Dishes: Spoon the mousse into individual serving dishes or bowls for presentation.
  12. Chill: Refrigerate the mousse for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and texture to set.
  13. Serve: Serve the mousse chilled as a refreshing, low-carb dessert.
