Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups cottage cheese
- 2 scoops peanut butter flavored protein powder (or flavor of choice)
- 3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/2 tbsp powdered erythritol or stevia (to taste)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2-4 tbsp unsweetened almond milk (to thin, as needed)
- Optional: pinch of salt
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add all ingredients—cottage cheese, protein powder, cocoa powder, sweetener, vanilla extract, almond milk, and optional salt—into a blender or food processor.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend the mixture until it becomes totally smooth and creamy. You might need to stop and scrape down the sides once or twice to ensure even blending.
- Adjust Consistency and Sweetness: Taste the mousse and adjust by adding a splash more almond milk if you prefer a thinner consistency, or add more sweetener if needed.
- Chill (Optional): For a firmer, more mousse-like texture, refrigerate the mixture for 30 minutes before serving. This step is optional but enhances the texture.
Notes
- You can use any flavor of protein powder to vary the taste.
- Adjust sweetness with erythritol or stevia according to preference.
- Almond milk can be substituted with any other plant-based or dairy milk.
- The mousse can be eaten immediately or chilled for a firmer texture.
- This recipe is naturally low in sugar and high in protein, making it a nutritious snack or dessert option.
