Notes
You can use other sweeteners.
I found this recipe online using syrup, but I prefer honey for its health benefits. We also made this using Agave nectar, and that was also very good.
Top it off!

Why I Love This Cottage Cheese Chocolate Mousse
Protein Power
I aim for around 30 grams of protein at every meal — even dessert! One cup of this 3-Ingredient Cottage Cheese Chocolate Mousse delivers an impressive 25 grams of protein. While a standard serving of cottage cheese is about ½ cup, trust me — if you're ever going to double up, this creamy, chocolatey treat is the perfect time to do it.
Honey: A Natural Sweetener with Benefits
Honey isn’t just sweet — it’s packed with antioxidants that help combat oxidative stress and support overall health. Thanks to its antimicrobial properties, honey can soothe sore throats and promote wound healing. It also has a lower glycemic index than regular sugar, meaning it causes a slower, more stable rise in blood sugar levels. Plus, honey naturally contains enzymes, vitamins, and minerals, making it a wholesome addition to desserts, smoothies, and teas. Using honey in this mousse adds natural sweetness without the need for refined sugar.
Healthy Way to Satisfy Chocolate Cravings
Let’s be real — everyone needs a chocolate fix now and then! I love finding healthy dessert recipes that allow me to indulge without the guilt. This high-protein chocolate mousse hits the spot: it’s rich, satisfying, naturally sweetened, and packed with nourishing ingredients. It's the perfect option when you’re craving something chocolatey but still want to feel good afterward.
I hope you enjoy the recipe! 🤗
