Ingredients

Scale

2 cups Full-fat cottage cheese (4% milkfat)
2-3 tbsp Honey or maple syrup
2 tbsp Unsweetened cocoa powder (optional for chocolate version)
1 tsp Vanilla extract
1 pinch Sea salt
Fresh berries for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Place the cottage cheese, sweetener of choice, vanilla, and sea salt into a high-speed blender or food processor.
Step 2: If making a chocolate version, add the sifted cocoa powder to the blender at this stage.
Step 3: Blend on high for 60-90 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and no curds remain.
Step 4: Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness if necessary, blending for an additional 10 seconds to incorporate.

Notes

For the best results, use a high-powered blender to ensure all curds are fully pulverized. If the mousse is too thick, add a splash of milk.
