Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat) For a creamy texture.
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter (natural, no sugar added) Choose a creamy variety for best results.
  • 2 tbsp sweetener (maple syrup or sugar-free alternative) Adjust based on your sweetness preference.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract For flavor enhancement.
  • 1/4 tsp salt (optional) Balances the flavors.
  • 1 to 2 tbsp milk or heavy cream (if needed) To adjust consistency.
  • 2 oz dark chocolate chips For melting and drizzling.
  • 1 tsp coconut oil Helps in melting chocolate smoothly.
  • Chopped peanuts (for garnish) Adds a crunchy texture.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Add the cottage cheese, peanut butter, sweetener, vanilla extract, and salt to a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend for 30 to 60 seconds until completely smooth and creamy.
  2. If the mousse is too thick, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk or heavy cream and blend again until your desired texture is reached.
  3. Transfer the mousse to a bowl and refrigerate for 15 to 20 minutes to help it firm up and allow the flavors to develop.
Melting Chocolate
  1. In a small bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil together in the microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring in between, until smooth.
Serving
  1. Divide the mousse into serving bowls or jars. Drizzle with the melted chocolate mixture and sprinkle with chopped peanuts. Serve immediately or store in the fridge until ready to enjoy.

Notes

For a smoother texture, always use a high-speed blender or food processor. You can adjust the sweetness to your liking and add variations like almond or cashew butter.
