Chocolate Peppermint Protein Mousse

Print Pin
Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 20 oz Cottage Cheese Full fat works best
  • 1/3 cup Chocolate Protein Powder Or chocolate peppermint flavor! Use code colleenF10 to save
  • 1/2 tsp peppermint extract
  • 1 Tbsp Cocoa Powder
  • 3 Tbsp Medjool Date Syrup Or pure maple syrup
  • 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract

For Topping

  • 3 tbsp dark chocolate
  • 2 tbsp coconut cream
  • 2 tbsp crushed dye-free candy canes YumEarth brand

Instructions

  • Blend cottage cheese ingredients together until smooth, scraping the sides as needed
  • Optionally, fill the bottoms of your storage jars (6oz I find work best) with crushed gluten free chocolate graham crackers (I like Simple Mills Brownie thins. They also come in mint chocolate!)
  • Pour cottage cheese mousse overtop
  • Refrigerate at least a few hours, or overnight for optimal thick texture
  • Melt chocolate in 30 second intervals until almost melted, then combine with coconut cream, then pour overtop mousse, and sprinkle with crushed candy canes
  • Enjoy!
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3-4 days
