Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
  • 4 tablespoons creamy natural peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt optional
  • 1 –2 tablespoons milk as needed

Method
 

  1. Place the cottage cheese in a fine mesh strainer and drain excess liquid for 1–2 minutes.
  2. Add strained cottage cheese, peanut butter, honey, vanilla, and salt to a blender or food processor.
  3. Blend on high for 45–60 seconds until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add milk gradually if needed to adjust texture.
  5. Spoon the mousse into a bowl or serving jars.

Notes

For the smoothest texture, always strain the cottage cheese first and use creamy peanut butter. Chill time improves flavor and consistency.
