Ingredients

1 cup cottage cheese

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup whipped cream or coconut whip

2 tablespoons chopped nuts

2 tablespoons chocolate shavings

1 tablespoon caramel sauce (optional)

4 fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)


Instructions

1. Add cottage cheese, peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth and creamy.

2. In 4 small serving glasses or jars, spoon a layer of the mousse base.

3. Add a layer of whipped cream or coconut whip over the mousse.

4. Repeat with another layer of mousse, then top with more whipped cream.

5. Garnish each serving with chopped nuts, chocolate shavings, and a drizzle of caramel sauce if using.

6. Add a fresh mint leaf on top for presentation.

7. Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving for best texture and flavor.

Notes

Make sure to use a high-speed blender for the creamiest texture.

Adjust sweetness by tasting the base before layering and adding more honey if needed.

This mousse is best served chilled but can be eaten right after blending for a softer, fluffier texture.
