  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 3 servings

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Cottage Cheese (16 Tablespoons) - recommended 2% fat for best taste
  • ¼ Cup Creamy Natural Peanut Butter (4 Tablespoons) - preferably unsalted
  • 2-3 Tablespoons Sweetener of Choice - examples include granulated monk fruit sweetener, honey, maple syrup, or a mixture (suggested: 2 tablespoons monk fruit + 1 tablespoon honey)

Optional Ingredients

  • Milk or Heavy Cream (1 tablespoon or as needed to adjust consistency)
  • Pinch of Salt (to enhance flavor, optional)

Instructions

  1. Blend the Base: Combine 1 cup cottage cheese, ¼ cup creamy natural peanut butter, and 2-3 tablespoons of your preferred sweetener in a food processor or high-speed blender.
  2. Achieve Creaminess: Blend on high for 30 to 60 seconds until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides with a flexible spatula to ensure even blending.
  3. Adjust Consistency: If the mousse is too thick, add 1 tablespoon of milk or heavy cream and blend again until you reach your desired texture.
  4. Taste the Mousse: Add a pinch of salt if desired to enhance the flavors, remembering that cottage cheese already contains salt.
  5. Chill (Optional): Pour the mousse into serving cups or bowls and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight, for a firmer texture.
  6. Decorate and Serve: Garnish with toppings of your choice such as fresh berries, sliced apples, chocolate drizzle, coconut flakes, or nuts for added flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use 2% cottage cheese for best flavor and texture without the need for full-fat.
  • You can customize the sweetness with your preferred sweetener to suit dietary needs.
  • The mousse can be thinned with milk or heavy cream to alter the texture.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Ideal for low-carb, keto, and high-protein diets.
  • Use a flexible spatula to scrape down the sides during blending for a smooth mousse.
