Description
Lemon Cottage Cheese Mousse is a light, creamy no-bake dessert with fresh lemon flavor and a silky texture. Blended cottage cheese gives it a smooth, protein-rich base, while honey, vanilla, and lemon zest make every spoonful bright, sweet, and refreshing.
Ingredients
1 cup cottage cheese
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons whipped topping or heavy cream
Pinch salt
Fresh berries for garnish
Extra lemon zest for garnish
Instructions
1. Add the cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, honey, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, whipped topping or heavy cream, and salt to a blender or food processor.
2. Blend for 1 to 2 minutes until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
3. Taste and adjust with a little more honey for sweetness or lemon juice for extra brightness if needed.
4. Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or small bowls.
5. Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes for the best texture.
6. Garnish with fresh berries and extra lemon zest before serving.
Notes
Blend longer than you think you need so the cottage cheese becomes completely silky.
Fresh lemon juice and zest give the cleanest, brightest flavor.
Chill before serving so the mousse thickens and tastes more like a true dessert.
