Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons sweetener (e.g., stevia or erythritol)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Additional Liquids

  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon almond milk

Instructions

  1. Combine Cottage Cheese: Place the cottage cheese in a medium-sized mixing bowl to serve as the mousse base.
  2. Add Cocoa Powder: Sprinkle the unsweetened cocoa powder over the cottage cheese for chocolate flavor.
  3. Add Sweetener: Incorporate your preferred low-carb sweetener like stevia or erythritol into the mixture.
  4. Pour Vanilla Extract: Add vanilla extract to enhance the aroma and depth of the mousse.
  5. Add Heavy Cream: Pour in the heavy cream which will give the mousse its creamy and light texture.
  6. Season with Salt: Add a pinch of salt to balance and enhance all the flavors.
  7. Add Almond Milk: Incorporate almond milk for extra smoothness and lactose-free moisture.
  8. Blend Mixture: Use a hand or immersion blender on medium speed and blend until mixture becomes smooth and mousse-like in texture.
  9. Scrape Bowl Sides: Occasionally stop blending and scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed.
  10. Taste and Adjust Sweetness: Sample the mousse and add more sweetener if desired to fit your preference.
  11. Transfer to Serving Dishes: Spoon the mousse into individual serving bowls or dishes.
  12. Chill: Refrigerate the mousse for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and the texture to set.
  13. Serve: Enjoy the mousse chilled for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • This mousse is best served chilled; allow at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator before serving.
  • You can substitute almond milk with other plant-based milks, but almond milk keeps it low carb and adds a subtle nutty flavor.
  • For a vegan alternative, substitute cottage cheese and heavy cream with silken tofu and coconut cream, respectively, but note this changes the texture and nutrition profile.
  • Use a low-carb sweetener to keep the mousse diabetic-friendly and reduce sugar intake.
  • If you prefer a lighter texture, whip the heavy cream separately and fold it in gently instead of blending it directly.
