Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 1 cup cottage cheese opt for full-fat for a richer texture
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter choose natural, no-sugar-added varieties
  • 2 tablespoons sweetener maple syrup for non-sugar-free or allulose/monk fruit for sugar-free
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt optional
For Adjusting Texture
  • 1-2 tablespoons milk or heavy cream add in small increments as needed
For Topping
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips for melting and drizzling
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil to achieve silky melted chocolate consistency
  • 2 tablespoons chopped peanuts optional garnish

Equipment

  • High-speed blender or food processor

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a high-speed blender or food processor, add cottage cheese, peanut butter, sweetener, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt if desired. Secure the lid tightly.
  2. Blend the mixture on high for 30 to 60 seconds or until smooth and fluffy. Stop and scrape down the sides as needed.
  3. If the mousse appears too thick, gently add 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk or cream and blend again.
  4. Transfer the mixture into a bowl and chill in the refrigerator for 15 to 20 minutes.
  5. Melt the dark chocolate chips with coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  6. Once chilled, spoon the mousse into serving bowls and drizzle the melted chocolate over the top. Optionally sprinkle with chopped peanuts.
