Ingredients

• 2 cups plain cottage cheese
• 1/4 cup sugar-free maple syrup (adjust to taste)
• 2 tablespoons grated lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1/2 tablespoon gelatin powder
• 3 tablespoons water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla essence (optional)

Step 1: Bloom the Gelatin

In a small bowl, combine 1/2 tablespoon of gelatin powder with 3 tablespoons of water.

Stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved.

Set aside to bloom for about 5 minutes.

Step 2: Melt the Gelatin

After blooming, gently heat the gelatin mixture in the microwave for 15-20 seconds or on the stove over low heat until it becomes liquid.

Ensure it does not boil.

Step 3: Blend the Ingredients

In a blender or food processor, add 2 cups of cottage cheese, 1/4 cup of sugar-free maple syrup, 2 tablespoons of lemon zest, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (optional), and the warmed gelatin mixture.

Blend the mixture at high speed until smooth and creamy.

This may take a few minutes depending on your blender’s power.

Step 4: Adjust Flavor and Sweetness

Taste the mixture and adjust the sweetness or lemon flavor by adding more maple syrup or lemon juice if desired.

Blend again to incorporate any additional ingredients.

Step 5: Pour and Refrigerate

Pour the mousse mixture into individual serving cups or bowls.

Cover the cups or bowls with plastic wrap or lids and refrigerate for 2-3 hours or until the mousse has set to a firm consistency.

Step 6: Garnish and Serve

Once set, remove the mousse from the refrigerator and garnish with your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, whipped cream, or a sprig of mint.

Enjoy your delicious and refreshing cottage cheese lemon mousse!
