Introduction

This Chocolate Cottage Cheese Mousse Pudding is a delightful treat that combines rich chocolate flavor with the creamy texture of cottage cheese. It’s a healthier twist on traditional mousse, offering a satisfying dessert that’s both indulgent and nourishing.

The image shows four small glass jars filled with rich, creamy chocolate mousse on a white marbled surface. Each jar has two visible layers of mousse, with the bottom layer slightly smoother and the top layer fluffier and airier. Dark chocolate chips are scattered both inside the mousse and on top as decoration. A spoon, held by a woman's hand, lifts a large, textured scoop of the airy mousse from the central jar. The background is softly blurred, with warm wooden tones adding contrast to the cool, smooth look of the mousse and jars. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

2 cups cottage cheese
3 tbsp high quality cocoa powder
2 tbsp melted chocolate (at least 90% cocoa)
1/4 cup syrup, honey, or sweetener of choice
1/4 cup chia seeds

Instructions

Step 1: Add all the ingredients to a blender or food processor.
Step 2: Blend for around 2 minutes, or until the mixture is super smooth, creamy, and light.
Step 3: Scoop the mousse into 4 small cups or ramekins.
Step 4: Add your favorite toppings—chopped dark chocolate, chocolate chips, or fresh berries like raspberries work great.
Step 5: Chill in the fridge for a few hours before serving to let the texture set perfectly.

Tips & Variations

Use Greek yogurt instead of cottage cheese for a smoother texture if preferred.
Add a splash of vanilla extract to enhance the chocolate flavor.
For a nutty crunch, sprinkle toasted nuts on top before serving.
Sweeten with maple syrup or agave if you want a different flavor profile than honey.

Storage

Store the mousse in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir gently before serving if separated slightly. This mousse is best enjoyed chilled and does not freeze well due to the texture of cottage cheese.

How to Serve

Three small glass jars are filled with chocolate mousse that has a thick, fluffy texture and a smooth top layer. The mousse is light brown with visible small dark chocolate chips on the surface and mixed inside. One jar has a partial scoop taken out, showing a creamy inside. Next to the jars, there is a spoon with a large scoop of mousse, also topped with chocolate chips. The jars and spoon rest on a white parchment paper placed on a wooden board, all set on a white marbled surface, and a few chocolate chips are scattered around.
