🛒 Ingredients

✓ 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
✓ 2 scoops chocolate protein powder (whey or plant-based)
✓ 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
✓ 1 oz dark chocolate 85% (chopped)
✓ 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
✓ 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
✓ 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
✓ Pinch of sea salt
✓ 2 ice cubes
✓ 1 tablespoon cocoa powder (for dusting)
✓ 1/4 oz dark chocolate 85% (shaved, for garnish)
✓ 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (whipped, optional topping)
✓ Fresh raspberries (optional garnish)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Blend the Base: Add cottage cheese, unsweetened almond milk, and ice cubes to a high-speed blender. Blend on high for 45 seconds until completely smooth with zero graininess. Stop and scrape sides if needed.

2. Add Cocoa and Chocolate: Add cocoa powder, chopped dark chocolate, protein powder, and sea salt to the blender. Pulse 8–10 times until just combined—do not overblend, as this introduces excess air and deflates texture.

3. Sweeten and Flavor: Pour in maple syrup and vanilla extract. Pulse 3–4 times until fully incorporated. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed—add 1 teaspoon more syrup per serving if desired.

4. Check Consistency: The mousse should be thick, spoonable, and flow slightly when tilted. If too thick, add 1 tablespoon almond milk and pulse once. If too loose, add 1 tablespoon cocoa powder and pulse twice.

5. Divide into Bowls: Spoon the mousse evenly into two serving bowls or elegant dessert glasses. Use a spatula to create soft peaks on top for visual appeal.

6. Chill and Set: Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes (up to 4 hours) to allow the mousse to firm and flavors to deepen. Serve chilled for the best texture and taste.

7. Garnish Before Serving: Dust lightly with cocoa powder, top with dark chocolate shavings, a dollop of whipped Greek yogurt, and fresh raspberries. Serve immediately.
