Description
This quick and easy 5-ingredient chocolate mousse is so insanely delicious and makes the perfect balanced and satisfying snack in just 10 minutes! Creamy cottage cheese gives a major protein boost (almost 30g of protein per cup) and a good dose of daily calcium, making it a satisfying snack that is as nourishing as it is delish!
Ingredients
-
1 cup cottage cheese
-
½ cup dark chocolate chips, melted
-
2 Tbsp cacao or cocoa powder
-
Maple syrup *optional (I don’t usually add, but feel free to adjust to taste!)
-
Optional toppings: Regular or coconut whip or Greek yogurt (to top), fresh berries, walnuts
Instructions
-
Melt chocolate in the microwave in 20 second increments, stirring in between to ensure it doesn’t burn (it’s ok to remove when there’s a bit of unmelted chocolate left, give it a stir and the residual heat will finish the melting without burning)
-
Add cottage cheese, melted chocolate, and cocoa to a food processor and blend until smooth (make sure not to overmix as this can cause it to thin out).
-
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 5 days. When ready to eat, add toppings if using and enjoy!
