Ingredients
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
- Combine Ingredients: Add cottage cheese, protein powder, cocoa powder, sweetener, vanilla extract, almond milk, and optional salt to a blender or food processor.
- Blend Smooth: Blend the mixture until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the blender or processor as needed to ensure everything is fully incorporated.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste the mousse and adjust the texture by adding more almond milk if you prefer it thinner, or add extra sweetener to your liking.
- Chill for Texture: Refrigerate the mousse for 30 minutes if you want a firmer, more mousse-like consistency; this step is optional but recommended for best texture.
Notes
- Use any protein powder flavor you like if peanut butter is not preferred, but peanut butter enhances the flavor combination well.
- The optional salt pinch helps balance sweetness and deepen flavor but can be omitted for a milder taste.
- Adjust almond milk amount carefully to get your perfect mousse thickness.
- This mousse keeps well in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- For a vegan version, substitute cottage cheese with a vegan alternative, though taste and texture may vary.
