Let’s get blending! This mousse is incredibly easy to make, and the results are so rewarding. Start by gathering all your ingredients and equipment. Having everything within reach makes the process flow smoothly.

First, combine all the ingredients (cottage cheese, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and almond extract, if using) in your blender or food processor. Secure the lid tightly.

Next, blend until completely smooth and creamy. This may take a minute or two, depending on the power of your blender. You want to make sure there are no lumps of cottage cheese remaining.

Once the mixture is perfectly smooth, carefully spoon it into your serving glasses or bowls. Don’t overfill them – leave a little space at the top for the garnish.

Now, cover the glasses with plastic wrap or lids and place them in the refrigerator to chill for at least one hour. This chilling time is important, as it allows the mousse to set and the flavors to meld together.

Finally, just before serving, garnish with fresh berries or chocolate shavings. This adds a pop of color and texture that elevates the presentation. And that’s it! Your delicious Cottage Cheese Vanilla Mousse is ready to be enjoyed.
