Low-Carb Cottage Cheese Chocolate Mousse

📝 Ingredients:

• 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat, your choice)
• 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2–3 tbsp powdered erythritol (or any low-carb sweetener, adjust to taste)
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2–3 tbsp heavy cream (for extra smoothness)
• Pinch of salt

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Blend the cottage cheese
   Add cottage cheese to a blender or food processor and blend until completely smooth (this is key for a mousse-like texture).
2. Add remaining ingredients
   Add cocoa powder, sweetener, vanilla extract, heavy cream, and a pinch of salt.
3. Blend again
   Blend until everything is silky smooth and creamy.
4. Taste & adjust
   Adjust sweetness or cocoa depending on your preference.
5. Chill
   Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate for at least 30–60 minutes for best texture.

🍽️ Optional Toppings:

• Dark chocolate shavings (low-carb)
• Crushed nuts (almonds, walnuts)
• Whipped cream (unsweetened)
• Fresh berries (like strawberries or raspberries)

💡 Tips:

• For extra richness, add 1 tbsp peanut butter or almond butter
• If it’s too thick, add a splash of milk or cream
• For a fluffier texture, fold in whipped cream after blending
