Notes

For the best results, use full-fat or whole milk cottage cheese (4% milk fat). Drain any excess liquid before blending, especially if your cottage cheese has a lot of liquid at the top. If your mousse is too thin or runny, allow it to set in the fridge to thicken up for at least an hour, as cottage cheese can become runnier as it gets warmer. You can also add 1 tbsp of chia seeds or flax seeds to thicken the mixture more immediately.
