Low-Carb Chocolate Cottage Cheese Mousse
Creamy, high-protein, low-carb chocolate cottage cheese mousse ready in minutes. A healthy, indulgent dessert for keto and low-carb diets.
Ingredients
- ½ cup cottage cheese preferably full-fat for creaminess
- 1 –2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder adjust to taste
- 1 –2 teaspoons powdered sweetener of choice erythritol, monk fruit, or stevia blend
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: 1–2 tablespoons melted dark chocolate for extra richness
Tip: For an ultra-smooth texture, use small curd cottage cheese or blend for an extra minute.
Instructions
Blend the Base
- Place the cottage cheese, cocoa powder, sweetener, and vanilla extract in a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.
Add the Chocolate (Optional)
- If you want a richer, more indulgent mousse, melt dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler. Pour the melted chocolate into the blender and pulse until fully combined.
Chill for Best Texture
- Transfer the mousse into serving bowls. For the best flavor and texture, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Garnish and Serve
- Before serving, sprinkle with extra cocoa powder, add chocolate shavings, or top with fresh berries. You could also add a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream for an extra treat.
