Description
Indulge in a healthy treat with this creamy Cottage Cheese Peanut Butter Mousse, perfect for any time of day!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
- 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter
- 1 to 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Pinch sea salt
- Optional toppings: chopped peanuts, shaved dark chocolate, chocolate syrup, banana slices, granola
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all the necessary ingredients for your Cottage Cheese Peanut Butter Mousse. If your peanut butter is too firm, a quick microwave zap for 10 to 15 seconds will soften it up, making it easier to blend.
- In your blender, combine the cottage cheese, softened peanut butter, your chosen sweetener (maple syrup or honey), pure vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Blend these ingredients on high for about 1 to 2 minutes.
- After blending, it’s time to taste your mousse. Adjust the sweetness to your liking.
- Once your mousse is perfectly smooth and sweetened to your liking, spoon it into serving dishes. For a firmer texture, refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
- Top your mousse with your favorite ingredients for an extra layer of texture and flavor.
- If you’re lucky enough to have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
Notes
Customize flavors with different nut butters, spices, or toppings.
