Peppermint Chocolate Mousse: The Protein Hack! ☃️🎄 #HoodPartner hphood

This unbelievably light and airy Peppermint Chocolate Mousse gets its texture and protein boost from a secret ingredient: Hood Country Style Cottage Cheese! It’s rich, cool, and shockingly simple. The perfect holiday dessert or anytime chocolate fix.

You need:

•  2 cups Hood Country Style Cottage Cheese 

•  5 tbsp. honey (or maple syrup/sugar)

•  2-3 tbsp. cocoa powder

•  1/2 tsp. peppermint extract

•  Topping: Chopped dark chocolate, fresh mint, and peppermint whipped cream made with Hood Heavy Cream!

Instructions

1.  Blend: Combine Hood Country Style Cottage Cheese, honey, cocoa, and peppermint extract in a high-speed blender.

2.  Process: Blend for several minutes, scraping down sides, until perfectly smooth and pudding-like (no lumps!).

3.  Chill: Divide into dishes, cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours until firm.

4.  Whip: Make peppermint whipped cream using Hood Heavy Cream, ¼ cup of powdered sugar, and ½ tsp of peppermint extract (whipped until soft peaks form).

5.  Serve: Top the chilled mousse with whipped cream, chopped dark chocolate, and mint
