Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by straining 1 cup of full-fat cottage cheese using a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth. Allow it to drain for 1-2 minutes to remove excess liquid.
- Ensure your food processor or high-speed blender is clean and has a minimum 4-cup capacity.
- Add the strained cottage cheese to the blender, then include 4 tablespoons of creamy natural peanut butter, 2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and an optional 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- Process the mixture on high speed for 45-60 seconds, stopping halfway to scrape down the sides with a spatula.
- After blending, evaluate the mousse texture. If it seems too thick, gradually add 1-2 tablespoons of milk while blending.
- Transfer your blended mousse into a serving bowl, covering it with plastic wrap or a lid. Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes.
- Once chilled, scoop the mousse into small bowls or jars, and top with your choice of delicious toppings.

Notes
Ensure cottage cheese is well strained to avoid a watery mousse. Quality vanilla extract enhances flavor. Chill for best results.
