Begin by gathering all the necessary ingredients for your Cottage Cheese Peanut Butter Mousse. If your peanut butter is too firm, a quick microwave zap for 10 to 15 seconds will soften it up, making it easier to blend.
In your blender, combine the cottage cheese, softened peanut butter, your chosen sweetener (maple syrup or honey), pure vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Blend these ingredients on high for about 1 to 2 minutes.
After blending, it’s time to taste your mousse. Adjust the sweetness to your liking.
Once your mousse is perfectly smooth and sweetened to your liking, spoon it into serving dishes. For a firmer texture, refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
Top your mousse with your favorite ingredients for an extra layer of texture and flavor.
If you’re lucky enough to have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
Notes
Customize flavors with different nut butters, spices, or toppings.
