Hi! I’m Lina, and I live just outside Asheville with my husband and two teenagers who would happily eat brownies for dinner. I wasn’t always confident in the kitchen, but discovering versatile, healthy swaps like this one made dinner (and dessert!) less stressful and more fun. When I first whipped cottage cheese chocolate mousse, I honestly didn’t expect it to work. But it did and now it’s a regular in our weekly treat rotation.

Why You’ll Love This Cottage Cheese Chocolate Mousse

Plus, this mousse is incredibly simple to make. All you need are four ingredients and a high-speed blender. It’s similar in texture to our whipped cottage cheese bowls and works well as a dessert or post-workout snack.
