"But, if you've grown weary of eating bowl after bowl of plain cottage cheese, there are plenty of ways to jazz up those curds including, most delectably, a cottage cheese mousse. Making a protein-packed cottage cheese chocolate mousse is actually much easier to whip up than a standard chocolate mousse. Even better, you can eat it as soon as it's made and you don't have to deal with separating egg yolks from whites or melting chocolate to the proper temperature."
"Start by draining out any excess liquid from your cottage cheese, as you want the mousse to be as thick as possible. Add the drained cottage cheese to a blender or food processor along with cocoa powder, a sweetener like honey or maple syrup, and a small pinch of salt. Blend the ingredients together until everything is smooth. If the mixture feels grainy, keep blending until silky smooth."
A single cup of cottage cheese contains about 25 grams of protein and provides long-lasting satiety. Cottage cheese blends smoothly with cocoa powder and a sweetener to create a quick, protein-rich chocolate mousse without eggs or tempering chocolate. Drain excess liquid for a thick texture, then blend drained curds with cocoa, honey or maple syrup, and a pinch of salt until smooth; continue blending if grainy. Taste and adjust sweetener or salt, then refrigerate or serve immediately. Optional flavorings and toppings include orange zest, vanilla, peppermint, cinnamon, and cacao nibs for added crunch and deeper chocolate notes.
