Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries hulled and sliced
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • Fresh strawberries and mint leaves for garnish

Method
 

  1. In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, sliced strawberries, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  2. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
  3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the strawberry cottage cheese mixture until well combined. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
  4. Spoon the mousse into serving dishes or glasses and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to chill and set.
  5. Before serving, garnish with additional fresh strawberries and mint leaves.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free option, substitute cottage cheese with silken tofu and use coconut cream instead of heavy whipping cream.
  • Add a tablespoon of chia seeds for extra texture and nutrition, allowing the mousse to sit for an additional 15 minutes to thicken.
