Description
A light, whipped chocolate mousse that just happens to be made with cottage cheese. A little protein, no refined sugars, and good enough to serve when you have people over.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup cottage cheese (180g)
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (20g)
- 1½ tablespoons honey (30g)
- ¼ cup heavy cream (whips to about ½ cup)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- ⅛ teaspoon espresso powder (optional)
Instructions
- Add plain heavy whipping cream to a bowl and whip it until it's fluffy and holds its shape, a relatively stiff whipped cream. You can do this with a whisk by hand, stand mixer or hand mixer.
- Add the cottage cheese, cocoa powder, honey, vanilla, and espresso powder (if using) to a food processor or blender. Blend, scraping down the sides occasionally throughout the process, until completely smooth.
- Add the base to the bowl with the whipped cream and fold the whipped cream and fold together until just combined, keeping it light and airy.
- Spoon into two bowls or jars. Serve right away or chill until ready.
