Description

This Cottage Cheese Peanut Butter Mousse is a creamy, protein-packed dessert that combines the rich flavors of peanut butter and cottage cheese with a smooth chocolate drizzle. Perfect for a quick and healthy treat, it requires minimal ingredients and only a few minutes to prepare, making it ideal for busy schedules. The mousse is light yet satisfying, with a hint of sweetness and a delightful crunch from chopped peanuts.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat for the creamiest texture)
  • ¼ cup peanut butter (natural, no sugar added)
  • 2 tbsp sweetener (maple syrup, or a sugar-free alternative like allulose or Monk fruit)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp salt (optional)
  • 1-2 tbsp milk or heavy cream (if needed for consistency)

Chocolate Topping

  • 2 oz dark chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp coconut oil

Garnish

  • Chopped peanuts (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Blend the Base: Add the cottage cheese, peanut butter, sweetener, vanilla extract, and optional salt to a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend for 30–60 seconds until completely smooth and creamy.
  2. Adjust Consistency: If the mousse is too thick, add 1–2 tablespoons of milk or heavy cream. Blend again until your desired smooth and creamy texture is achieved.
  3. Chill the Mousse: Transfer the mousse to a bowl and refrigerate for 15–20 minutes. This allows it to firm up and helps the flavors meld together.
  4. Melt the Chocolate: In a small bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips with coconut oil in the microwave using 20-second bursts. Stir well between each burst until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
  5. Serve: Divide the mousse into serving bowls or jars. Drizzle with the melted chocolate mixture and sprinkle chopped peanuts over the top. Serve immediately or store in the fridge until ready to enjoy.

Notes

  • For a sweeter mousse, increase the sweetener slightly to taste.
  • Use full-fat cottage cheese for the creamiest texture; low-fat versions may result in a thinner consistency.
  • If you prefer a vegan version, substitute cottage cheese with silken tofu and ensure the chocolate chips are dairy-free.
  • The chocolate drizzle can be replaced with a dusting of cocoa powder or a drizzle of honey.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
