Description
This Strawberry Cottage Cheese Mousse is creamy, high-protein, and naturally sweetened with honey. A quick and healthy dessert bursting with fresh strawberry flavor.
Ingredients
2 cups cottage cheese
1 cup fresh strawberries
¼ cup honey or maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Fresh strawberries and mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
Step 1: Blend the Mousse
Add the cottage cheese, strawberries, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract to a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides as needed to make sure everything is fully incorporated.
Step 2: Spoon and Chill
Divide the mousse into four small serving glasses. Smooth the tops if desired. Place the mousse in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least one hour. This will help the texture firm up and allow the flavors to deepen.
Step 3: Garnish and Serve
Just before serving, top each glass with a fresh strawberry and a small mint leaf. It’s a simple garnish, but it adds a pop of color and a touch of freshness that makes the dessert feel special.
Storage Instructions
Keep the mousse covered in the fridge for up to three days. It’s great for prepping ahead or having on hand for whenever the sweet craving strikes. Add the garnish right before serving to keep everything looking fresh.
