Ingredients

  • 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese for the creamiest texture
  • ¼ cup natural peanut butter no sugar added
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup or sugar-free sweetener like allulose or monk fruit
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp salt optional
  • 1–2 tbsp milk or heavy cream if needed
  • 2 oz dark chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
  • Chopped peanuts for garnish

Instructions

  • Add cottage cheese, peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt to a blender.
  • Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping the sides as needed. If the texture is too thick, blend in 1–2 tablespoons of milk or heavy cream until silky and spoonable.
  • Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate for about 15–20 minutes to firm up and let the flavors develop.
  • Melt dark chocolate chips with coconut oil in the microwave, heating in short bursts and stirring until smooth.
  • Divide the mousse into bowls or jars, drizzle with the melted chocolate, and sprinkle with chopped peanuts. Serve right away or chill until ready to enjoy.
