Ingredients

Scale

1 cup cottage cheese

2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

2 ounces dark chocolate, melted

2 tablespoons maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 pinch salt

1/4 cup whipped cream, optional for topping

1/4 cup fresh raspberries, optional for topping

1 tablespoon chocolate shavings, optional for topping

Instructions

1. Melt the dark chocolate gently until smooth, then let it cool for a few minutes.

2. Add the cottage cheese, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt to a blender or food processor.

3. Blend until the mixture looks completely smooth and creamy.

4. Add the melted chocolate and blend again until the mousse is glossy and fully combined.

5. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.

6. Spoon the mousse into two serving glasses or bowls.

7. Chill for 30 minutes to 1 hour until thick and cold.

8. Top with whipped cream, raspberries, and chocolate shavings before serving if desired.

Notes

Blend thoroughly so the cottage cheese becomes completely smooth and the mousse has the best texture.

Let the melted chocolate cool slightly before adding it so it mixes in evenly.

Chill before serving for the thickest, most mousse-like consistency.
