Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups full fat cottage cheese 4%
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder Dutch processed preferred
  • 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp instant espresso powder optional
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup fresh raspberries for topping
  • 2 tbsp chocolate shavings for garnish

Method
 

  1. **Blend.** Add cottage cheese, maple syrup, cocoa powder, vanilla, espresso powder, and salt to a high speed blender.
  2. **Smooth.** Blend on high for 2 full minutes. Stop, scrape the sides, and blend 30 more seconds until completely smooth.
  3. **Chocolate.** Add melted dark chocolate chips that have cooled for 2 minutes. Blend 30 more seconds until glossy.
  4. **Chill.** Divide into 4 serving glasses. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.
  5. **Top.** Garnish with fresh raspberries and chocolate shavings.
  6. **Serve.** Serve chilled with a spoon. Store leftovers in the fridge up to 4 days.

Notes

Use full fat cottage cheese (4%). Low fat versions come out watery and thin. Blend on high for at least 2 full minutes. If you stop too early, you will see curds in the final mousse. Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days. The texture gets even thicker.
