Ingredients
Scale
1 cup cottage cheese
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional, for thickness)
Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
Add cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract to a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Add the chopped strawberries and lemon zest, then blend again until fully incorporated.
If you prefer a thicker mousse, stir in chia seeds and let the mixture sit for 10 minutes.
Spoon the mousse into serving bowls or glasses.
Garnish with fresh strawberries and mint leaves before serving.
Notes
Use maple syrup for a vegan-friendly sweetener alternative (if using plant-based yogurt).
For a thicker mousse without chia seeds, refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving.
This recipe can also be made with frozen strawberries—just thaw them first.
Blend thoroughly to ensure a smooth, airy texture.
Add a few ice cubes while blending for a chilled mousse instantly.
