Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 oz Semisweet Chocolate, coarsely chopped Adds rich chocolate flavor.

Preparation
- In a small heatproof bowl, microwave the chopped semisweet chocolate in 30-second increments, stirring between each until melted and smooth (about 90 seconds). Let it cool slightly.

- Add the melted chocolate and sweetener (if using) to the cottage cheese and blend until well combined, scraping down the sides as necessary.
- Transfer the mousse to a container with a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate for at least one hour to set.
- Serve topped with additional chopped chocolate and fresh berries.
Notes
For an enhanced chocolate flavor, add a pinch of sea salt to the melted chocolate. Whip the cottage cheese for a lighter texture, and feel free to experiment with different types of chocolate. For a vegan option, use plant-based yogurt and dairy-free chocolate.
