Blueberry Cottage Cheese Mousse Ingredients
- 2 cups cottage cheese
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- Fresh blueberries and lemon zest for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients: Gather 2 cups of cottage cheese, 1 cup of fresh or frozen blueberries, 1/4 cup of honey or maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon of lemon zest for the base of the mousse.
- Blend the mixture: Place the cottage cheese, blueberries, honey, and lemon zest in a blender or food processor. Blend the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring even distribution of flavors.
- Portion the mousse: Spoon the blended mousse evenly into four serving glasses or bowls, preparing them for chilling.

- Garnish and serve: Before serving, garnish each mousse with fresh blueberries and an additional sprinkle of lemon zest for a fresh and vibrant presentation.
Notes
- You can use fresh or frozen blueberries depending on availability. If using frozen, there’s no need to thaw before blending.
- For a vegan alternative, substitute cottage cheese with a plant-based yogurt or tofu, and use maple syrup instead of honey.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of honey or maple syrup to your taste preference.
- This mousse is best served chilled and consumed within 24 hours for optimal freshness.
- Adding a splash of vanilla extract can enhance the flavor if desired.
