This quick and easy 5-ingredient chocolate mousse is so insanely delicious and makes the perfect balanced and satisfying snack in just 10 minutes! Creamy cottage cheese gives a major protein boost (almost 30g of protein per cup) and a good dose of daily calcium, making it a satisfying snack that is as nourishing as it is delish!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • ½ cup dark chocolate chips, melted
  • 2 Tbsp cacao or cocoa powder
  • Maple syrup *optional (I don’t usually add, but feel free to adjust to taste!)
  • Optional toppings: Regular or coconut whip or Greek yogurt (to top), fresh berries, walnuts

Directions

  1. 1

    Melt chocolate in the microwave in 20 second increments, stirring in between to ensure it doesn’t burn (it’s ok to remove when there’s a bit of unmelted chocolate left, give it a stir and the residual heat will finish the melting without burning)

  2. 2

    Add cottage cheese, melted chocolate, and cocoa to a food processor and blend until smooth (make sure not to overmix as this can cause it to thin out).

  3. 3

    Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 5 days. When ready to eat, add toppings if using and enjoy!
