Key Ingredients
- Cottage Cheese – it does not matter if you like cottage cheese or not! Once blended until smooth the chunky texture is gone. When blended with a fat source, like the cashew butter, and the added thickness from the protein powder, this mousse gets incredibly thick and creamy, and thickens even more overnight! Use full fat for the creamiest ice cream texture
- Cashew butter – adds to the creaminess while remaining neutral in taste
- French Vanilla Protein Powder – the flavor is unbelievable! It tastes so smooth and creamy, and adds a boost of protein as well as delicious flavor. My code colleenF10 saves you sitewide off my favorite clean ingredient protein powder from Just Ingredients
- Pure maple syrup – adds sweet without adding refined table sugar. Pure maple syrup (not pancake syrup) is lower glycemic index than white sugar, so it’s easier on your blood sugar

How to Make High Protein Sugar Cookie Mousse
- Blend cottage cheese ingredients, minus chocolate chips, together until smooth, scraping the sides as needed
- Fold in mini dark chocolate chips
- Optionally, fill the bottoms of your storage jars (6oz I find work best) with crushed gluten free graham crackers
- Pour cottage cheese mousse overtop
- Refrigerate at least a few hours, or overnight for optimal thick texture
- Mix cookie dough ingredients together, roll into balls, add to mousse, and enjoy!
I love how easy it to just add all of the filling ingredients to a blender, mix, and pour!
I had the sugar cookie dough bites prepared ahead of time.
They’re a favorite in our house this time of year!
