Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 250 g Cottage Cheese (1 cup)
- 30 g Nut Butter (2 tbsp)
- 40 g Coconut Sugar or Honey (2 tbsp)
- 40 g Oat Flour (½ cup)
- ½ tsp Vanilla Bean Paste
- Pinch of Salt
- 40 g Dark Chocolate Chips (⅓ cup)
Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: Add the cottage cheese, nut butter, coconut sugar (or honey), oat flour, vanilla bean paste, and a pinch of salt into a blender or food processor. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth, creamy, and thick, resembling the texture of cookie dough.

- Divide Mousse: Spoon the mousse evenly into four serving glasses or bowls. For larger portions, divide into two servings instead.
- Chill: Refrigerate the mousse for at least 30 minutes to allow it to firm up and for the flavors to meld together nicely.
- Serve: Serve the mousse chilled. Optionally, top with extra chocolate chips, a drizzle of nut butter, or a sprinkle of flaky sea salt for added flavor and presentation.
Notes
- Use coconut sugar or honey as a natural sweetener depending on your preference or dietary needs.
- Oat flour can be made by grinding rolled oats in a food processor if you don’t have pre-made oat flour.
- Choose your favorite nut butter such as almond, peanut, or cashew butter to customize flavor.
- For a vegan version, substitute the cottage cheese with a plant-based alternative like silken tofu or cashew cream.
- The mousse thickens further when chilled, so don’t skip the refrigeration step for the best texture.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days for freshness.
