Step 1: Blend the Mousse
In your blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, cocoa powder, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides once or twice to ensure everything is fully mixed. The mousse should be thick, glossy, and deeply chocolatey.

Step 2: Spoon and Chill
Divide the mousse evenly between four small serving glasses or jars. Smooth the tops if you’d like a neat finish. Place in the refrigerator for at least one hour so the mousse can chill and the flavors can deepen.

Step 3: Garnish and Serve
Just before serving, top each portion with dark chocolate shavings. This adds a beautiful contrast of texture and a little extra burst of chocolate in every bite. You can also add a pinch of sea salt, a dollop of whipped cream, or even a few raspberries for something extra.

Storage Instructions
Keep the mousse in an airtight container or covered glasses in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It’s perfect for make-ahead desserts, late-night snacks, or a post-workout treat when you want something sweet but balanced. Add garnishes just before serving for best texture and freshness
