Ingredients

Instructions

Separate the egg, placing the yolk in one bowl and the white in another. Whisk the egg white with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form.
In a separate bowl, blend the cottage cheese, cocoa powder, whey protein, erythritol, vanilla extract, and egg yolk until very smooth using a hand blender or food processor.
Gently fold the stiff egg whites into the chocolate cottage cheese mixture until just combined, being careful not to deflate the whites.
Spoon the mousse into a ramekin or small bowl and chill for at least 1 hour to set.
Serve cold for a rich, protein-packed chocolate treat.
