Ingredients
  

For the Mousse
  • 1 cup Full-fat cottage cheese Choose brands with minimal additives for the best texture.
  • 1/2 cup Creamy natural peanut butter (sugar-free) Look for options with just peanuts and salt for pure flavor.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by straining the full-fat cottage cheese briefly to remove any excess liquid.
  2. In a food processor or blender, combine the strained cottage cheese, creamy natural peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Blend the mixture for about 45–60 seconds until it reaches a silky-smooth consistency.
  4. If the mousse mixture appears too thick, gradually add milk while blending on low speed.
  5. Transfer your blended mousse into a bowl and cover it, then refrigerate for 15–20 minutes.
  6. Once chilled, scoop the mousse into small bowls or jars.
  7. Before serving, add fresh fruit or crushed nuts as toppings.
