Description

This easy high protein chocolate mousse has 9g protein and is made in your blender with no melting or folding required! Only 10 minutes prep time. Gluten free, egg free, and nut free


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

  1. Combine the chocolate chips and hot coffee in a large blender and blend for 30 seconds, or until smooth.
  2. Add the cottage cheese, protein powder and sugar and blend until smooth.
  3. Pour into a storage container and chill in the refrigerator for 3 hours or until firm.
  4. Once firm, remove and blend with a mixer or hand whip with a fork to lighten the mixture if desired.
  5. 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.
