Ingredients
  

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

Instructions
 

Step 1:

  • Bloom the Gelatin
  • In a small bowl, combine 1/2 tablespoon of gelatin powder with 3 tablespoons of water. Stir the mixture until the gelatin is fully dissolved. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom.

Step 2:

  • Melt the Gelatin
  • After the gelatin has bloomed, gently heat the mixture in the microwave for 15-20 seconds or on the stove over low heat until it turns into a liquid. Be sure not to let it boil.

Step 3:

  • Blend the Ingredients
  • 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 to a blender or food processor. Blend the ingredients on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This may take a few minutes depending on the strength of your blender.

Step 4:

  • Adjust Flavor and Sweetness
  • Taste the mousse mixture and adjust the flavor by adding more maple syrup or lemon juice to your liking. Blend again to mix any additional ingredients.

Step 5:

  • Pour and Refrigerate
  • Pour the mousse mixture into individual serving cups or bowls. Cover them with plastic wrap or lids and refrigerate for 2-3 hours, or until the mousse has set and reached a firm consistency.

Step 6:

  • Garnish and Serve
  • Once the mousse is set, remove it from the refrigerator and garnish with your favorite toppings, such as fresh berries, whipped cream, or a sprig of mint. Enjoy your refreshing and delicious cottage cheese lemon mousse!
