Description
This recipe came about from a desire to create something light, refreshing, and beautiful. I wanted a dessert that felt elegant but was incredibly simple to make
Ingredients
- 2 cups cottage cheese (full-fat recommended)
- 1 cup fresh raspberries (plus extra for garnish)
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (pure preferred)
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Let’s walk through the steps of making this delightful mousse:
First, gather all your ingredients and equipment. Having everything organized and within reach makes the process much smoother.
Next, add the cottage cheese, raspberries, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract to your blender or food processor. Ensure accuracy in your measurements.
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. Smooth texture is the goal!
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 for this recipe.
Carefully spoon the mousse into each glass, making sure to distribute it evenly. You can use a spatula to smooth out 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.
This chilling step is crucial for achieving the optimal texture and flavor. It also helps the mousse to set properly.
Just before serving, remove the mousse from the refrigerator and garnish with fresh raspberries and mint leaves, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy! The cool, creamy texture and the vibrant raspberry flavor are sure to be a hit. It’s a light and refreshing treat.
