Description
Chocolate cottage cheese mousse pudding is a rich, protein-packed dessert made by blending cottage cheese with cocoa and sweetener for a silky, mousse-like treat that’s both indulgent and nourishing.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1–2 tbsp honey, maple syrup, or sugar-free sweetener
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1–2 tbsp milk (optional, to adjust texture)
- Pinch of salt
- Optional toppings: dark chocolate shavings, berries, crushed nuts, whipped cream
Instructions
- Add cottage cheese, cocoa powder, sweetener, vanilla extract, and milk (if needed) to a blender or food processor.
- Blend until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as necessary.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or cocoa level if desired, blending again briefly.
- Transfer to bowls or jars and chill for 30 minutes for a firmer mousse or enjoy immediately.
- Top with optional garnishes before serving.
Notes
- Full-fat cottage cheese gives the smoothest, creamiest texture.
- Add espresso powder for a mocha variation or nut butter for extra richness.
- Use a high-speed blender for best results if your cottage cheese is not very smooth.
