Instructions

Blend Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, maple syrup (or honey), vanilla extract, and instant espresso powder. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring an even texture for the mousse.
Chill the Mousse: Transfer the blended mousse mixture to a bowl or individual serving cups. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow it to chill and thicken properly, enhancing the flavors and texture.
Add Toppings: Just before serving, dust the top of the mousse with cocoa powder for that classic tiramisu touch. Optionally, sprinkle crushed ladyfinger biscuits on top to add authentic texture and a slight crunch.
Serve: Serve the mousse chilled to enjoy a light, creamy dessert that captures the essence of tiramisu in a healthier, protein-rich form.

Notes

You can substitute maple syrup with honey according to your preference.
For a smoother mousse, strain the cottage cheese before blending.
The crushed ladyfinger biscuits are optional but add an authentic tiramisu texture.
Instant espresso powder can be adjusted to taste for a stronger or milder coffee flavor.
This recipe is gluten-free if you omit the ladyfinger biscuits or use gluten-free biscuits.
