Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1/3 cup frozen or fresh blueberries
- 7 g gelatin
- Sweetener to taste (monk fruit drops, honey, maple syrup, powdered sugar, etc.)
Additional Liquids
- 1–2 tbsp hot water (for dissolving gelatin)
- Equal parts cold water (to mix with gelatin)
Instructions
- Blend Cottage Cheese and Blueberries: Add 1 cup of cottage cheese, 1/3 cup of frozen or fresh blueberries, and your choice of sweetener to a blender. This combination forms the base of your mousse.
- Dissolve Gelatin: In a small bowl, add 7 grams of gelatin and 1 to 2 tablespoons of hot water. Stir the mixture until the gelatin is fully dissolved. Then add an equal amount of cold water to cool the gelatin mixture.
- Add Gelatin Mixture to Blender: Pour the dissolved gelatin mixture into the blender with the cottage cheese and blueberries. Blend everything together until the mixture is smooth and consistent.
- Chill the Mousse: Pour the blended mixture into a single-serving bowl or ramekin. Refrigerate for at least 1 to 2 hours to allow the mousse to set and develop a light, airy texture.

Notes
- You can substitute the sweetener with your preferred low-sugar option to suit your taste.
- Using fresh blueberries will give a fresher flavor, but frozen berries work well and make preparation easier.
- Ensure the gelatin is fully dissolved to avoid lumps in the mousse.
- This mousse is best served chilled and consumed within 2 days for optimal freshness.
- Feel free to experiment with other berries or fruit purees, but adjust gelatin accordingly.
