Ingredients
  

For the Mousse
  • 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese straining helps improve texture
  • 1/2 cup creamy natural peanut butter choose brands with just peanuts
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup adjust to taste

  • a pinch salt optional; enhances flavor
  • as needed tablespoons milk to adjust consistency

Equipment

  • Food Processor
  • Fine mesh sieve
  • plastic wrap

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by straining the full-fat cottage cheese using a fine mesh sieve to remove excess liquid. Allow it to sit for about 10 minutes while preparing the other ingredients.
  2. In a food processor, combine the strained cottage cheese, creamy natural peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Blend on high for 45-60 seconds until smooth.
  3. If the mixture is too thick, gradually add milk, one tablespoon at a time, blending after each addition until you reach your desired texture.
  4. Transfer the mousse mixture into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for about 15-20 minutes.
  5. Once chilled, spoon the mousse into serving bowls and garnish as desired with fresh berries or honey.
