Description
This recipe was born out of a love for blueberries and a desire for a simple, yet elegant dessert. I wanted something that felt both healthy and indulgent
Ingredients
- 2 cups cottage cheese (full-fat recommended)
- 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- Fresh blueberries and lemon zest for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Let’s go through the steps of making this delicious mousse:
First, gather all your ingredients and equipment. Having everything organized and ready to go makes the process much easier.
Next, add the cottage cheese, blueberries, honey (or maple syrup), and lemon zest to your blender or food processor.
Secure the lid tightly and blend or process the ingredients until they are completely smooth and creamy. This may take a few minutes.
Scrape down the sides of the blender or food processor as needed to ensure that everything is evenly incorporated.
Once the mixture is perfectly smooth, give it a taste and adjust the sweetness if necessary. You might want to add a touch more honey or maple syrup.
Now, it’s time to portion the mousse into your serving glasses or bowls. I find that four servings is the perfect amount.
Carefully spoon the mousse into each glass, making sure to distribute it evenly. Use a spatula to smooth the top.
Cover each serving glass with plastic wrap or a lid and place them in the refrigerator to chill for at least one hour.
Chilling allows the flavors to meld and the mousse to firm up. This step is essential for achieving the best texture.
Just before serving, remove the mousse from the refrigerator and garnish with fresh blueberries and lemon zest, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy! The cool, creamy texture and the delightful combination of flavors are sure to be a hit.
