Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Begin by straining 1 cup of full-fat cottage cheese using a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth, letting it sit for about 15 minutes.
In a food processor, combine the strained cottage cheese, 1 cup of creamy natural peanut butter, 2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Pulse the mixture for 45-60 seconds.
If it feels too thick, gradually add in 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk, incorporating it slowly. Blend for an additional 15-30 seconds.
Transfer the mousse mixture to a bowl and cover it tightly with plastic wrap. Place it in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.
After chilling, portion it into serving bowls or jars. Top with fresh fruits, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkle of nuts.
