Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup Good Culture Low Fat Cottage Cheese
- 4 Strawberries
- 1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
- 1 tsp. Honey
- 1 tbsp. Chocolate Chips (Melted)
- Sprinkle of Sea Salt (such as Clean Simple Eats)
Instructions
- Prepare Strawberries: Wash and hull the strawberries, then roughly chop them to make blending easier and to distribute the fruit evenly in the mousse.
- Blend Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine the low-fat cottage cheese, chopped strawberries, vanilla extract, honey, and a sprinkle of sea salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Add Melted Chocolate: Gently melt the chocolate chips in a microwave or double boiler. Drizzle the melted chocolate into the blended mixture and pulse a few times to swirl the chocolate without fully mixing it in.
- Chill the Mousse: Transfer the mousse to serving cups or bowls and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow it to set and chill thoroughly.
- Serve: Garnish with extra strawberries or a light drizzle of melted chocolate if desired, then enjoy this creamy, protein-rich dessert cold.
Notes
- You can substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar for a vegan option.
- If you prefer a sweeter mousse, add an extra teaspoon of honey or sweetener of choice before blending.
- For a dairy-free variation, replace cottage cheese with a plant-based protein yogurt alternatives, but texture may vary.
- Use high-quality dark chocolate chips for a richer chocolate flavor and health benefits.
- Chilling the mousse is essential for the best texture and flavor balance.
