📝 Ingredients
1 cup cottage cheese (2% works well)
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
2 tablespoons maple syrup
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons chia seeds
Optional Toppings
Crushed cookies
Chopped nuts
Fresh berries
Banana slices
Vanilla yogurt
Whipped cream
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Blend the Ingredients
Add the cottage cheese, cocoa powder, maple syrup, chia seeds, and vanilla extract to a blender or food processor.
Blend for 30–60 seconds until the mixture becomes completely smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides if needed and blend again until there are no visible curds.
2️⃣ Adjust the Flavor
Taste the mousse and adjust sweetness if desired by adding a little extra maple syrup. If you prefer a stronger chocolate flavor, you can add an extra teaspoon of cocoa powder.
3️⃣ Chill the Mousse
Transfer the mousse to serving bowls or small glasses. Refrigerate for 20–30 minutes so the mousse thickens slightly and the chia seeds help create a richer texture.
4️⃣ Add Toppings
Before serving, add your favorite toppings such as berries, banana slices, crushed cookies, nuts, yogurt, or whipped cream.
5️⃣ Serve
Serve chilled for the best creamy texture and flavor.
