Pumpkin Chocolate Protein Mousse (Yes, Really)

Fall is coming, and everyone’s obsessed with this pumpkin chocolate mousse—thanks to the secret ingredients: cottage cheese and our vanilla bean flavored grass-fed whey. Creamy, protein-packed, and impossibly smooth, it’s dessert that hits all the right notes. Spoon it, dollop it, or go straight for the bowl. 

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 2 scoops Vanilla Bean Grass-Fed Whey Protein
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 1/3 cup chocolate chips or chocolate of choice (for shell)
  • Optional: vanilla extract, cinnamon, sweetener (maple syrup, honey, or brown sugar), smashed cookies (we used Catalina Crunch Vanilla Crème cookies)

Ingredients

  • Blend cottage cheese, pumpkin puree, whey, salt, and any optional ingredients until smooth.
  • Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  • Melt chocolate and drizzle over the mousse to form a cracked shell.
  • Top with smashed cookies if using.
  • EAT & ENJOY
