Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese full-fat for the creamiest texture
- ¼ cup peanut butter natural, no sugar added
- 2 tbsp sweetener maple syrup, or a sugar-free alternative like allulose or Monk fruit
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp salt optional
- 1-2 tbsp milk or heavy cream if needed
Optional Toppings
- 2 oz dark chocolate chips
- 1 tsp coconut oil
- Chopped peanuts for garnish
Instructions
- Add the cottage cheese, peanut butter, sweetener, vanilla extract, and salt to a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend for 30–60 seconds until completely smooth and creamy.
- If the mousse is too thick, add 1–2 tablespoons of milk or heavy cream and blend again until your desired texture is reached.
- Transfer the mousse to a bowl and refrigerate for 15–20 minutes. This helps it firm up and allows the flavors to develop.
- In a small bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil together in the microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring in between, until smooth.
- Divide the mousse into serving bowls or jars. Drizzle with the melted chocolate mixture and sprinkle with chopped peanuts. Serve immediately or store in the fridge until ready to enjoy.
