- 2 cups full-fat cottage cheese
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Instructions
- Add the cottage cheese, unsweetened cocoa powder, powdered sugar-free sweetener, vanilla extract, and salt to a high-speed blender or food processor.

- Divide the mousse between 2 serving cups or small dessert bowls.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. For the thickest texture, chill overnight.
