Equipment
- blender I LOVE my Blendtec Designer Series Blender. We use it daily! It's great for smoothies, frozen cocktails, and even muffin and pancake batter.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese 2% or 4% is ideal
- 1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk or your preferred milk
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup granular monk fruit sweetener or your preferred sweetener
- 2 Tablespoons chia seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- To a blender jar, add all of the ingredients; cottage cheese, milk, cocoa, sweetener, chia seeds and vanilla.
- Secure blender lid and blend on medium-high speed for 75-90 seconds or until all ingredients are thoroughly blended and smooth. There should be no white flecks of cottage cheese. If needed add 1-2 more tablespoons of milk to help create a smooth texture.
- Pour mousse mixture into containers and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to help thicken and set up. The mousse can be enjoyed right away, but to help thicken, I recommend refrigerating.
- Top with your favorite toppings like raspberries, chocolate chips, nut butter, chopped nuts or coconut.
