Ingredients

1 cup cottage cheese

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon lemon zest

2 tablespoons honey

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 pinch salt

1/4 cup whipped cream

1 tablespoon graham cracker crumbs

2 lemon slices

2 fresh mint leaves

Instructions

1. Add the cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, honey, vanilla extract, and salt to a blender or food processor.

2. Blend until completely smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.

3. Taste and adjust with a little extra lemon juice or honey if desired.

4. Gently fold in the whipped cream for a lighter mousse texture.

5. Spoon the mousse into 4 small serving cups.

6. Chill for at least 1 hour before serving.

7. Top with graham cracker crumbs, lemon slices, and fresh mint.

Notes

Do not under-blend the cottage cheese. Blend until the mixture is fully smooth before chilling, or the mousse may have a grainy texture.
