Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (350g) full-fat cottage cheese
  • 1 cup (125g) fresh or frozen raspberries (thawed if frozen)
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup (or sweetener of choice)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
  • ½ cup (120ml) heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a food processor or high-speed blender, combine the cottage cheese and lemon juice. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. This may take 2-3 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Add the raspberries, maple syrup, and vanilla powder to the blended cottage cheese mixture. Blend again until the raspberries are fully incorporated and the mixture is uniformly pink and smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness if desired.
  3. Step 3: In a separate medium-sized bowl, using an electric mixer, whip the heavy cream and granulated sugar on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overbeat.
  4. Step 4: Gently fold the whipped cream into the raspberry cottage cheese mixture using a spatula, until just combined and lightened. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
  5. Step 5: Divide the mousse into individual serving dishes or a larger bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until thoroughly chilled and set.

Notes

  • This delightful mousse stores beautifully in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, allowing the flavors to deepen and meld perfectly.
  • This mousse is a delicate chilled dessert, so skip the reheat; it's designed to be enjoyed cool and fresh from the refrigerator for its best texture and flavor.
  • Serve this lovely mousse chilled, perhaps topped with a few fresh raspberries, a sprinkle of granola for a textural contrast, or a tiny sprig of fresh mint for a touch of elegance.
  • The secret to an unbelievably silky mousse is ensuring your cottage cheese is blended absolutely smooth in Step 1—the lemon juice helps break it down, so don't rush this crucial step!
