Main Ingredients
- 2 cups cottage cheese
- 1/4 cup coconut milk
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Shredded coconut for garnish
- Combine Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, place the cottage cheese, coconut milk, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Blend these ingredients until they become smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Portion Mousse: Spoon the blended mousse evenly into four serving glasses or bowls, preparing it for chilling.
- Chill: Place the filled glasses in the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour. This will help the mousse set and enhance its creamy texture.
- Garnish and Serve: Before serving, sprinkle shredded coconut on top of each mousse as a garnish to add texture and accentuate the coconut flavor.
Notes
- For a vegan version, substitute cottage cheese with a plant-based alternative such as silken tofu or a vegan cream cheese.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of honey or maple syrup to suit your taste preference.
- Use full-fat cottage cheese for a creamier texture and richer flavor.
- Chilling time is essential; do not skip refrigeration to achieve the best mousse consistency.
- Garnish can also include toasted coconut flakes for added crunch and flavor.
