Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 10 ounces bittersweet chocolate chips (I used Ghirardelli) or sugar free chocolate chips
- 8 ounces hot coffee
- 1 cup lowfat cottage cheese (I used Daisy)
- 1 scoop (30 grams) unflavored protein powder
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar (or brown sugar substitute)
Instructions
- Combine the chocolate chips and hot coffee in a large blender and blend for 30 seconds, or until smooth.
- Add the cottage cheese, protein powder and sugar and blend until smooth.
- Pour into a storage container and chill in the refrigerator for 3 hours or until firm.
- Once firm, remove and blend with a mixer or hand whip with a fork to lighten the mixture if desired.
- To get the look in the photos, place a large star tube into a piping bag, and then spoon the mousse into it. Squeeze the mousse out of the bag and into a glass or dish, while moving in a circular motion to achieve the swirl shape.
