- 1/3 cup chocolate whey protein powder
- 1/2 tsp espresso powder optional
- 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 3 tbsp powdered sweetener
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a blender or food process, combine the cottage cheese, chocolate protein powder, and espresso powder. Blend until smooth.
- In a large bowl, combine the heavy cream, sweetener, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract. Beat together until the cream holds stiff peaks.
- Add the cottage cheese mixture to the whipped cream, gently folding together to avoid deflating the peaks as much as possible.
- Divide the mixture between 4 dessert glasses and chill until it firms up, 1 to 2 hours.
Notes
Storage Information: Store the mousse in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Sweetener Options: This recipe does not rely on the sweetener for consistency or texture so feel free to use what you like best. It should be a powdered version to avoid any grittiness.
