Ingredients:
2 cups cottage cheese (preferably full-fat for a creamier texture)
4 tablespoons powdered sweetener (such as allulose, monk fruit, or erythritol)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (adjust to taste)
2 teaspoons lemon zest (plus more for topping)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons heavy cream (optional, to adjust consistency)
½ cup fresh blueberries (for topping)
Directions:
In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, powdered sweetener, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract.
Blend for 30–60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth.
If the mousse is too thick, add 1–2 tablespoons of heavy cream and blend again until you achieve a silky, airy texture.
For the best flavor and texture, refrigerate the mousse for 15–20 minutes before serving.
Serve topped with fresh blueberries and additional lemon zest if desired.
