🌿 Description
This creamy Cottage Cheese Chocolate Mousse is rich, chocolatey, and surprisingly healthy. Blended cottage cheese creates a smooth, protein-packed base that tastes indulgent but supports balanced eating.
Naturally gluten-free and made without refined sugar, this mousse is lightly sweetened and ready in minutes. Inspired by Mediterranean-style whole-food simplicity, it focuses on real ingredients, healthy fats, and satisfying protein.
It’s perfect as a quick breakfast, post-workout snack, or guilt-free dessert.
