Cottage Cheese Chocolate Mousse
Who says dessert can’t be both decadent and good for you? This cottage cheese chocolate mousse is the best of both worlds—ultra-creamy, high in protein, and unexpectedly indulgent. Blended with cocoa powder, a touch of agave syrup, and chia seeds for natural thickness, it’s rich yet airy, with a lightness that keeps you coming back for more. A layer of tart cherry compote adds berry brightness, while a crackly dark chocolate shell brings a finishing snap.

Smoother texture on the mousse would be better. Not a fan of cherries, so raspberries? Without the seeds though.
