Ingredients
- 1 Cup Cottage Cheese 2%
- ½ Cup Cocoa Powder unsweetened
- ¼ Cup Maple Syrup
- 1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- Measure all ingredients, then add the cottage cheese to the blender first, followed by the cocoa powder, maple syrup, and vanilla. Blend on high for 60-90 seconds, scraping down the sides once, until completely smooth with no visible curds.
- Divide into cups, top with Greek yogurt or chocolate chips if desired, and serve immediately. Chill for 30+ minutes for a firmer mousse.
Notes
- Choose the Right Cottage Cheese: Use 2% for the best balance of creaminess and macro-friendliness; small curd blends the smoothest.
- Blend Longer Than You Think: Blend a full 60-90 seconds to fully eliminate graininess and achieve a silky texture.
- Adjust Sweetness Gradually: Start with ¼ cup maple syrup and add more slowly, since cocoa bitterness varies by brand.
- Use High-Quality Cocoa: Better cocoa powder makes a noticeable difference in flavor and richness.
- Blender Type: High-powered blenders give the smoothest result. If using a standard blender, blend longer.
