Calories 234kcal
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup warm water
- 1 1/2 tsp espresso powder
- 1 tsp grass-fed gelatin
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese or ricotta cheese
- 1/3 cup unflavored whey protein powder
- 1/3 cup powdered sweetener
- 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream chilled
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1/2 ounce sugar-free dark chocolate
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk the warm water with the espresso powder until well combined. Sprinkle the top with the gelatin and let stand a few minutes to bloom.
- In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, protein powder, and powdered sweetener. Blend until smooth, then pour the mixture into a large mixing bowl.
- Gently warm the espresso mixture in the microwave and whisk until the gelatin is dissolved and liquid. Don't overheat. (Note: You can also do this in a saucepan over low heat on the stove).
- Add the espresso mixture to the cottage cheese mixture and stir until fully combined.
- In another bowl, beat the heavy cream with the vanilla extract until it holds stiff peaks. Gently fold into the cream cheese and espresso mixture until no streaks remain.
- Spoon or pipe about one third of the mousse into 4 small dessert cups. Sprinkle each with some cocoa powder, then spoon or pipe another third of the mousse overtop. Sprinkle again with some cocoa powder.
- Spoon or pipe the remaining mousse into the dessert cups and use a cheese grater to shave the chocolate overtop of each cup.
- Chill 1 to 2 hours to set before serving.
Notes
Storage Information: Store the mousse in the fridge for up to 5 days.
