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
- Add Ingredients: Add cottage cheese, peanut butter flavored protein powder, unsweetened cocoa powder, powdered erythritol or stevia, vanilla extract, unsweetened almond milk, and optional pinch of salt to a blender or food processor.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend the mixture until it becomes completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides once or twice to ensure everything is well blended.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste the mousse and adjust the consistency by adding more almond milk if you prefer it thinner, or add more sweetener if desired.
- Chill (Optional): For a firmer mousse texture, refrigerate the mixture for 30 minutes. This step is optional but recommended for a traditional mousse consistency.
Notes
- Use any flavor of protein powder to customize the flavor.
- Adjust sweetness according to personal preference using powdered erythritol or stevia.
- Almond milk can be substituted with any unsweetened plant-based milk or regular milk.
- Chilling the mousse improves texture but can be served immediately if preferred.
- For added crunch, garnish with chopped nuts or dark chocolate shavings.
