Instructions

In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt (if using). Blend until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add milk one tablespoon at a time to reach your desired consistency.
Taste the mousse and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey or maple syrup, if desired. If you want a stronger peanut butter flavor, you can add an extra tablespoon of peanut butter.
If you prefer a firmer texture, refrigerate the mousse for 30 minutes to an hour before serving. This also allows the flavors to meld together.
Spoon the mousse into individual bowls or cups. Garnish with chopped peanuts, granola, chocolate chips, or fresh berries for added flavor and texture.

Notes

For a chocolate-peanut butter flavor combination, add 1-2 tablespoons of cocoa powder or melted dark chocolate to the mousse.

For a fruit-sweetened version, blend in a small ripe banana.

If making this vegan, substitute the cottage cheese with a dairy-free version and use maple syrup.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
