Ingredients
  

For the Mousse

  • 1/2 cup Peanut Butter natural, no sugar added
  • 2-4 tablespoons Sweetener maple syrup or sugar-free alternatives
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract enhances flavor depth
  • 1 pinch Salt optional, elevates peanut butter flavor
  • 1-2 tablespoons Milk or Heavy Cream to adjust consistency if mousse is too thick
For the Toppings
  • 1/4 cup Dark Chocolate Chips sugar-free for low-carb option
  • 1 tablespoon Coconut Oil helps melt chocolate

Equipment

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine cottage cheese, peanut butter, sweetener, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend on high for 30-60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
  2. Check the thickness of the mousse; if it's too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk or heavy cream. Blend again for 15-30 seconds until desired consistency.
  3. Transfer the mousse into a bowl, cover it, and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  4. Melt dark chocolate chips with coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl, microwaving in 20-second increments, stirring in between until smooth.
  5. Once chilled, divide the mousse into serving bowls, drizzle with melted chocolate, and sprinkle with chopped peanuts.
