Description

This creamy Cottage Cheese Vanilla Mousse is a simple yet delicious dessert that’s both healthy and satisfying. Sweetened with honey or maple syrup and infused with vanilla and almond extracts, it’s a protein-packed treat that pairs perfectly with fresh berries or chocolate shavings for an added touch.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cottage cheese
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
  • Fresh berries or chocolate shavings for garnish

Instructions

  • In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using).
  • Blend until smooth and creamy. You may need to scrape down the sides of the blender or food processor to ensure everything is well-mixed.
  • Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary, adding more honey or maple syrup if desired.
  • Spoon the mousse into serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to chill and set.
  • Before serving, garnish with fresh berries or chocolate shavings for an extra touch.
  • Serve chilled, and enjoy!

Notes

  • You can use full-fat cottage cheese for a richer texture or low-fat for a lighter version.
  • The almond extract is optional but adds a nice depth of flavor.
  • This mousse can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
