Ingredients
-
1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
-
1/2 cup fresh raspberries (plus extra for topping)
-
2 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, adjust to taste)
-
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
-
Pinch of salt
-
1-2 tbsp milk (only if needed for blending)
-
Optional: powdered sweetener or monk fruit for garnish
Instructions
-
Prepare the base: In a food processor or high-speed blender, combine the cottage cheese, fresh raspberries, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
-
Blend to perfection: Process until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. If it feels too thick or chunky, add 1 tablespoon of milk at a time until your desired mousse-like consistency is reached.
-
Sweetness check: Taste the whipped mixture. If you’d like it sweeter, add a little more honey, maple syrup, or a low-carb powdered sweetener and blend again.
-
Chill and set: Spoon the whipped dessert into individual serving glasses or small bowls. For a firmer, more mousse-like texture, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
-
Garnish and serve: Just before serving, top with a few fresh raspberries and a light dusting of powdered sweetener for an elegant touch.
-
Enjoy: Serve chilled and enjoy a guilt-free, protein-rich raspberry dessert that’s low in sugar and full of flavor.
Notes
-
For a keto version, swap honey/maple syrup for a keto-friendly sweetener like erythritol or stevia.
-
Use frozen raspberries if fresh aren’t available—just thaw before blending.
