Ingredients
 

Optional Toppings

  • crushed cookies, nuts, berries, banana, vanilla greek yogurt, or whipped cream

Equipment

Instructions
 

  • Add cottage cheese, cocoa powder, maple syrup, chia seeds, and vanilla extract to a blender.
  • Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. This will take 30-45 seconds.
  • Transfer to a jar or cup, cover, and refrigerate for a minimum of 30-minutes or until mousse has thickened. Add toppings right before eating and enjoy!

Notes

  • Choose higher fat and lower sodium cottage cheese for a creamier texture and less salty flavor.
  • For a lower sugar mousse, swap maple syrup for any sugar-free syrup, or a few drops of liquid stevia.
  • If you don't have chia seeds, you can leave them out.
  • Add toppings right before serving.
