Special Notes
This light and creamy cottage cheese mousse is a healthier alternative to traditional mousse while still being delicious and satisfying. The cottage cheese provides protein and a smooth texture when blended, while the honey adds natural sweetness. The lemon juice adds a bright, fresh flavor that complements the creamy base. This dessert is perfect for those looking for a protein-rich treat that's lower in sugar than traditional desserts. The mousse can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
