High-Protein Peanut Butter Mousse

Ingredients

• 226 g Dry cottage cheese or farmer cheese
• 32 g Natural peanut butter
• 42 g Honey or maple syrup (Choose one of the two options.)
• 1 scoop Whey protein powder (The recipe calls for 1 scoop, without specifying its weight.)
• 35 g Rolled oats (Added to thicken the mousse.)
• 40 g Dark chocolate (Optional, for the topping.)
• 5 g Coconut oil (Optional, for the topping.)

Steps

1. 1

   Place the cottage cheese, peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, whey protein, and rolled oats in a food processor or blender. Blend until completely smooth.

2. 2

   Let the mixture rest for 2 to 3 minutes so the oats can absorb the liquid and the mousse can thicken.

3. 3

   Divide the mousse between two bowls or jars.

4. 4

   If making the topping, melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil together in the microwave in short intervals, stirring until smooth.

5. 5

   Pour the melted chocolate evenly over the mousse. Refrigerate until the topping hardens; alternatively, freeze for 10 to 15 minutes.
