Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1/3 cup frozen or fresh blueberries
- 7 g gelatin powder
- Sweetener to taste (monk fruit drops, honey, maple syrup, powdered sugar, etc.)
- 1–2 tbsp hot water
- Equal parts cold water (approximately 1-2 tbsp)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather 1 cup of cottage cheese, 1/3 cup of blueberries (fresh or frozen), and your preferred sweetener. Ensure the gelatin powder is ready for dissolving.
- Dissolve Gelatin: Place 7 grams of gelatin powder into a small bowl and add 1-2 tablespoons of hot water. Stir thoroughly until the gelatin is completely dissolved, then add an equal amount of cold water and mix again to cool the gelatin mixture.
- Blend Mixture: Add the cottage cheese, blueberries, and sweetener to a blender. Pour in the gelatin and water mixture. Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Chill the Mousse: Pour the blended mixture into a single-serving bowl or ramekin. Place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 to 2 hours. The mousse will firm up and develop a super light, airy texture as it sets.
- Add Toppings and Serve: Once chilled and set, add your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, nuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon. Enjoy this high-protein, low-sugar mousse as a healthy dessert or snack.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries based on availability; frozen will work well when properly blended.
- You can adjust the sweetness level by choosing your preferred sweetener and quantity.
- The gelatin must be fully dissolved to ensure a smooth mousse texture.
- Chilling time can be extended for a firmer consistency if desired.
- For a vegan version, consider using agar-agar instead of gelatin, though texture may vary.
