  • Author: Mary
  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4

Description

This Cottage Cheese Vanilla Mousse is a light, creamy, and protein-packed dessert. Sweetened with honey or maple syrup and flavored with vanilla (and almond extract, if desired), this mousse makes for a delicious, healthier treat that’s perfect for any occasion. You can top it with fresh berries or chocolate shavings for an added touch.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cottage cheese
  • ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon almond extract (optional)
  • Fresh berries or chocolate shavings for garnish

Instructions

  • Blend the mousse: In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and almond extract (if using). Blend until smooth and creamy.
  • Adjust sweetness: Taste the mousse and adjust the sweetness if needed by adding more honey or maple syrup.
  • Chill: Transfer the mousse to serving bowls and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together and the texture to firm up.
  • Serve: Before serving, garnish with fresh berries or chocolate shavings for extra flavor and visual appeal.

Notes

  • For a smoother texture, you can use a high-speed blender or food processor to fully incorporate the cottage cheese.
  • If you prefer a dairy-free version, you can substitute the cottage cheese with a plant-based alternative (such as cashew cream or tofu).
  • This mousse can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
