Equipment

Ingredients

1 cup cottage cheese
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract or paste
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
½ cup whipping cream
Optional garnishes: additional whipped cream chocolate shavings, berries

Instructions

Blend the cottage cheese, cocoa powder, and vanilla in a food processor or blender until completely smooth and creamy. This step is crucial for achieving a silky texture in the mousse.
Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave or over a bowl of barely simmering water (see tips in the post).
Add the melted chocolate chips to the blender. Blend again until all ingredients are well combined and smooth.
Whip the cream until soft peaks form. Fold the chocolate mixture into the whipped cream.
Spoon (or pipe) the mousse into serving glasses or bowls and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
Before serving, garnish as desired.
