Base Ingredients
- 2 cups cottage cheese
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Garnish
- Fresh blueberries
- Lemon zest
Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, blueberries, honey (or maple syrup), and lemon zest. Blend until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain for a silky mousse texture.
- Portion the Mousse: Spoon the blended mousse evenly into four serving glasses or bowls, preparing it for chilling and serving.
- Chill: Place the glasses in the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour. This allows the mousse to firm up slightly and the flavors to meld together.
- Finalize and Serve: Before serving, garnish each mousse with additional fresh blueberries and a sprinkle of lemon zest for a fresh, colorful presentation and a hint of brightness.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries depending on availability; if using frozen, thaw them slightly before blending.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of honey or maple syrup to your taste.
- For a smoother texture, you can strain the cottage cheese before blending.
- This mousse can be prepared up to a day in advance and kept covered in the refrigerator.
- For a vegan alternative, substitute the cottage cheese with silken tofu and use maple syrup.
