Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat for creamier texture; low-fat works fine)
- 2 tbsp peanut butter (creamy; natural preferred for flavor)
- 1–2 tbsp sweetener (honey, maple syrup, or a sugar substitute to taste)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder (optional — for chocolate mousse)
- 1 pinch salt
- Splash of milk (optional; to thin if needed)
Instructions
- Place cottage cheese, peanut butter, sweetener, and vanilla in the blender jar.
- Add cocoa powder if using, then a pinch of salt.
- Pulse a few times to start breaking down the curds.
- Blend on medium-high for about 30–45 seconds until the mixture looks smooth and mousse-like.
- Check texture and adjust if necessary with milk or cottage cheese.
- Spoon or pipe mousse into serving cups or bowls.
- Refrigerate at least 30 minutes to chill and slightly set.
Notes
For the richest mousse, use full-fat cottage cheese. Adjust sweetness gradually and chill serving cups beforehand for better texture.
