Equipment

Blender or Food Processor
Dessert Glasses

Ingredients

1 cup nonfat or low fat cottage cheese
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons maple syrup or your preferred sweetener
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon chia seeds

Instructions

Add the cottage cheese, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and chia seeds to a blender or food processor. Process for 1-2 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed, until the mixture is silky smooth and thick.
Transfer the mousse to a bowl, jar or serving dishes. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the chia seeds to thicken the texture.
Enjoy the mousse as is, or top with fresh berries, shaved dark chocolate, or a dollop of Greek yogurt for extra creaminess.

Substitutions and Variations

Extra Chocolatey: Stir in a tablespoon of mini chocolate chips or a drizzle of melted dark chocolate before chilling.
Nutty Twist: Add a tablespoon of peanut butter or almond butter for a chocolate-nut mousse.
