A rich, creamy chocolate mousse made with cottage cheese and Greek yogurt. It delivers approximately 46–48 g of protein, depending on the brands you use.
Ingredients
- 200 g low-fat cottage cheese — about 24 g protein
- 200 g Greek yogurt (0–2% fat) — about 20 g protein
- 10 g unsweetened cocoa powder — about 2 g protein
- 1–2 teaspoons sweetener or honey, to taste
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1–3 tablespoons milk, only if needed
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Combine: Add the cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, cocoa powder, sweetener, vanilla, and salt to a blender.
- Blend: Blend for 1–2 minutes, scraping down the sides once or twice, until completely smooth and fluffy.
- Adjust: If the mousse is too thick to blend, add milk 1 tablespoon at a time until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Taste: Adjust the sweetness if needed.
- Chill: Refrigerate for 30–60 minutes. This allows the mousse to become thicker and more mousse-like.
- Serve: Spoon into glasses or bowls and serve chilled.
For an Extra-Chocolatey Version
For a richer chocolate flavor, add 5–10 g melted dark chocolate or a few drops of chocolate-flavored sweetener. For the thick texture shown in the original recipe, use very little or no milk and blend thoroughly.
