Ingredients

1 cup cottage cheese (preferably low-fat)
2–3 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
2–3 tbsp low-carb sweetener (erythritol, stevia, or monk fruit — adjust to taste)
1 tsp vanilla extract
A pinch of salt
Optional garnish: sugar-free chocolate chips, nuts, or fresh berries

Instructions

Step 1: Blend Until Creamy

In a blender or food processor, combine cottage cheese, cocoa powder, sweetener, vanilla, and salt. Blend on high until the mixture is silky smooth and mousse-like.

Step 2: Taste & Adjust

Taste the mixture—add more cocoa for richness or more sweetener for extra sweetness.

Step 3: Chill to Set

Spoon into serving bowls and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This helps it firm up and enhances the flavor.

Step 4: Garnish & Serve

Top with sugar-free chocolate chips, crunchy nuts, or even a few fresh raspberries for a pop of freshness. Enjoy chilled!
