I know cottage cheese is mainly associated with keto savory dishes, however, I was really surprised when I tried a Titktok viral cottage cheese recipe. 

If I need to compare it to a keto chocolate mousse with cream cheese, I would say it’s creamier and more like a traditional store-bought chocolate mousse. It’s my favorite and best chocolate pudding recipe I’ve tried so far.

Why Cottage Cheese?

Cottage cheese is an excellent source of protein and a great way to add creaminess to desserts without the added carbs. It’s a healthier option that doesn’t compromise on taste or texture.

The Role of Gelatine

Gelatine not only helps the mousse set but also adds a smooth, velvety mouthfeel. It’s a keto-friendly ingredient that’s versatile and easy to use in various recipes.

Tips for the Perfect High Protein Chocolate Mousse

• Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before blending.
• For a richer flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract.
• If you’re not a fan of cottage cheese, try using cream cheese for a different twist.

Ingredients

• full-fat cottage cheese: A versatile and protein-rich base.
• unsweetened cocoa powder: For that deep chocolate flavor.
• heavy cream: Adds creaminess and helps achieve the perfect mousse texture.
• Swerve sweetener of choice: A keto-friendly sweetener that mimics the sweetness of sugar without the carbs.
• gelatine: The secret ingredient that helps the mousse set.
• water: Used to dissolve the gelatine.

Instructions

1. Start by dissolving the gelatine in water. This process, known as blooming, ensures that your mousse sets to the right consistency.
2. In a food processor, high speed blender or immersion blender, blend the cottage cheese, cocoa powder, heavy cream, and sweetener until the mixture is perfectly smooth. This step is crucial for achieving that silky mousse texture we all love.
3. Refrigerate the mousse for at least 2 hours. This allows the gelatine to work its magic, transforming your blend into a firm yet airy dessert. You can eat the cottage cheese chocolate pudding immediately. However, it might be not set, a little bit more liquid.

Serving Suggestions

• Top your mousse with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of chocolate chips for extra decadence.
• Serve with fresh fruit, like berries for a refreshing contrast to the rich chocolate flavor.
