Key Ingredients for this Cookie Dough Cottage Cheese Mousse
- 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
