Main Ingredients
- 2 cups cottage cheese
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Garnish
- Fresh raspberries
- Mint leaves
- Blend Ingredients: Combine the cottage cheese, fresh raspberries, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract in a blender or food processor. Blend the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are thoroughly combined for the perfect mousse texture.
- Portion: Spoon the smooth mousse evenly into four serving glasses or bowls, dividing the mixture so each serving is equal and ready to chill.
- Chill: Refrigerate the mousse servings for at least 1 hour. This chilling step helps the flavors meld together and allows the mousse to firm up to a light, airy consistency.
- Garnish & Serve: Before serving, garnish each mousse portion with fresh raspberries and a few mint leaves to add a pop of color and freshness to the dessert.
Notes
- Frozen Raspberries: Can be used instead of fresh. Ensure they are thawed and excess liquid drained before blending to avoid a watery mousse.
- Dairy-Free Option: Substitute regular cottage cheese with a dairy-free or vegan cottage cheese alternative to make this recipe suitable for vegan diets.
- Flavor Variations: Experiment by adding different berry varieties or flavored syrups such as raspberry or vanilla syrup to customize the mousse to your taste.
- Storage: Store leftover mousse in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days to maintain freshness.
