High Protein & Low Calorie

For me, this cottage cheese chocolate mousse is proof that indulging doesn’t have to be unhealthy! Sometimes you just crave something sweet – even if you’re trying to lose a few pounds. That’s exactly when this high protein chocolate mousse comes in handy.

It has only 250 calories and packs 34 g of protein! Thanks to cottage cheese, skyr, and protein powder, it turns into a true protein dessert – completely guilt-free. For me, it’s the best alternative to traditional chocolate mousse!

Ingredients

See recipe card for measurements.

Cottage cheese: The base for a creamy consistency and a great source of protein. You can use full-fat or low-fat cottage cheese – both work perfectly.
Skyr: Makes the mousse lighter and creamier compared to using only cottage cheese. You can substitute it with fat-free Greek yogurt (0%), which works just as well.
Cocoa Powder: For that rich chocolate flavor – make sure to use unsweetened cocoa powder.
Chocolate Protein Powder: For an extra protein boost! I love using whey protein with a “Double Rich Chocolate” flavor. It adds a great chocolate note and is usually pre-sweetened, making your mousse naturally a bit sweeter.
Honey: Just a little honey enhances the flavor. Adjust the amount to your taste, but don’t overdo it as it adds extra calories. You can also use maple syrup instead.

How To Make

Prepare

Add all ingredients to a food processor.

Blend

Blend until smooth and creamy.

Chill

Divide into two dessert glasses and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Serve with whipped cream, fresh berries, or chocolate shavings if desired.

Storage

This high protein chocolate mousse keeps well in the fridge for 2-3 days. I usually cover the glass with plastic wrap, but you can also store it right away in small jars with lids – perfect for grab-and-go portions.
