Step 1: Blend the Cottage Cheese

Place the cottage cheese in a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth, ensuring there are no lumps. This will give your mousse a creamy texture.

Step 2: Add Cocoa and Sweetener

Add the unsweetened cocoa powder, powdered erythritol, vanilla extract, and salt to the blended cottage cheese. Blend again until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

Step 3: Adjust Consistency

If the mousse seems too thick, add a tablespoon of unsweetened almond milk at a time, blending until you reach the desired consistency. If you prefer a richer mousse, add heavy cream for extra smoothness.

Step 4: Enhance Flavor

For an intensified chocolate flavor, mix in 1/4 teaspoon of instant espresso powder and blend once more.

Step 5: Chill and Serve

Transfer the mousse into serving bowls or ramekins. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Garnish with sugar-free chocolate shavings, cacao nibs, or fresh berries.
