Description
When I first whipped up this Chocolate Cottage Cheese Mousse, I wanted something that felt indulgent but was made with clean, real ingredients. I was craving the deep richness of chocolate — smooth, velvety, and decadent — but without reaching for heavy cream or overly sugary recipes. This mousse hit every mark: rich in flavor, creamy in texture, and incredibly easy to make
