Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • Full-fat cottage cheese (small curd works best)
  • Natural peanut butter (no added sugar; creamy)
  • Powdered or granular erythritol/monk fruit blend (or your preferred keto sweetener)
  • Heavy cream (or unsweetened almond milk for lighter texture)
  • Pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of fine sea salt
  • Optional toppings: sugar-free chocolate chips, chopped peanuts, cocoa powder, cinnamon, whipped cream

Method
 

  1. Drain and measure: If your cottage cheese seems watery, drain off excess liquid. Add 1 cup cottage cheese to a blender or food processor.
  2. Add the flavor: Spoon in 2 tablespoons natural peanut butter, 2–3 tablespoons keto sweetener, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Adjust the creaminess: Pour in 2–3 tablespoons heavy cream (start small; you can add more). This helps it whip into a silky mousse.
  4. Blend until smooth: Process for 30–60 seconds, scraping the sides as needed, until completely creamy. No visible curds should remain.
  5. Taste and tweak: Check sweetness and salt. Add a touch more sweetener or cream to fine-tune texture and flavor.
  6. Chill for fluff: For a thicker, mousse-like body, chill 20–30 minutes. It sets up beautifully in the fridge.
  7. Serve and top: Spoon into cups and finish with a dusting of cocoa, a few sugar-free chips, or crushed peanuts for crunch.
