Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Blend 1 cup of full-fat cottage cheese in a high-speed blender on medium speed for about 1-2 minutes until smooth.
Incorporate 1/3 cup of natural peanut butter, 1-2 tablespoons of maple syrup or honey, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Blend again for about 30 seconds until creamy.
Gradually add 1-2 tablespoons of milk, blending continuously until the mousse achieves a thick yet spoonable texture, around 30 seconds more.
Optional: Transfer the mousse to a bowl and refrigerate for about 30 minutes for a firmer texture.
Spoon the mousse into individual bowls or serving glasses. Drizzle with dark chocolate and sprinkle crushed peanuts before serving.
