Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cottage cheese (500g)
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips (200g)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup (60ml)
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth. Let it cool slightly to avoid curdling the cottage cheese.
- Blend the cottage cheese: In a blender or food processor, add the cottage cheese and maple syrup. Blend until smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Combine and mix: Pour the melted chocolate into the blender with the cottage cheese mixture. Blend again until everything is well combined. Scrape down the sides as needed.
- Chill and set: Transfer your mousse into serving bowls or individual jars. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to an hour, allowing it to set and cool.
- Serve delightfully: Top your mousse with cocoa powder, whipped cream, or fresh berries for presentation.
Notes
Use high-quality dark chocolate for the best flavor. Adjust the sweetness to your taste by varying the amount of maple syrup.
