This Chocolate Mousse is gluten free, high in protein, and so chocolatey rich you would have no idea that the main ingredient is cottage cheese! It’s perfect for a quick snack or treat when that sweet tooth kicks in.

If you haven’t hopped on the viral cottage cheese trend yet, I don’t blame you, because I was skeptical at first too. But now that I’ve tried so many recipes, both sweet AND savory, with cottage cheese being the main ingredient… I’m such a fan!

High-quality dairy is such a great, balanced food because it’s high in protein and fats to help keep you fuller for longer. Cottage cheese is one of my favorite ways to add more protein into my diet which helps support hormone health, blood sugar, muscle growth, and SO much more! Add it to eggs, pancakes, desserts – the possibilities are endless and I feel like I’ve tried them all 🙈

What You’ll Need

  • Cottage Cheese
  • Cocoa powder – or cacao powder, it will be a little bitter.
  • Powdered sugar – or powdered monkfruit, or maple syrup.
  • Chocolate (optional) – for the hard chocolate shell!

How To Make

Pour all of your ingredients into a high-power blender. Blend until completely smooth – it will need to blend for a while to help thin out the mixture!

Next, pour everything into a dish and set it in the freezer for one to two hours. To prevent iciness, stir once about halfway through.

Once it’s set, you can add the hard chocolate shell! Separately, melt some chocolate by microwaving and stirring every ten seconds until fully melted and smooth. Pour it on top of the mousse, add some sea salt, and enjoy!
