  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 tbsp milk only if needed

Equipment

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder optional

Method
 

  1. Add cottage cheese, peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, salt, and cocoa powder if using to a blender.
  2. Blend for 45 to 60 seconds until the mixture looks smooth, thick, and creamy.
  3. Scrape down the sides of the blender and blend again for 20 to 30 seconds if any cottage cheese texture is still visible.
  4. Add 1 tablespoon milk only if the mousse is too thick to blend smoothly.
  5. Spoon the mousse into small bowls or jars.
  6. Serve right away or chill for 10 minutes for a thicker, colder texture.
  7. Top with chopped peanuts, dark chocolate chips, or a small peanut butter drizzle before serving.

Notes

For the smoothest cottage cheese peanut butter mousse, blend until no cottage cheese texture is visible. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and stir before serving.
