• Daisy Cottage Cheese (1 cup, blended): The protein powerhouse that provides the creamy texture to the mousse.
• Smooth Peanut Butter (1/4 cup): The flavoring for the mousse which also adds a bit of protein.
• Honey (3 tablespoons): Adds natural sweetness to the mousse.
• Vanilla Extract (1 teaspoon): Enhances the flavors of the other ingredients.
• Dark Chocolate (2 ounces, chopped): The decadent chocolate for the ganache topping that pairs perfectly with the peanut butter mousse.
• Heavy Cream (1/4 cup): Combined with chocolate, it creates a luscious and smooth ganache topping.
• Chopped Nuts (3 tablespoons): The crunch topping that complements the chocolate and adds a texture contrast to the mousse filling.

• Make sure to blend the cottage cheese until completely smooth for the lightest, fluffiest mousse.
• Maple syrup, agave, or molasses may be used in place of honey. Maple syrup will add a distinct maple flavor. Agave will add a neutral sweetness, and maple syrup will add a heavier, more robust flavor.
• Perfect ganache tips:
  • Make sure your container for the ganache is completely dry. Moisture will destabilize the chocolate and could make it seize.
  • Semi-sweet chocolate may be used in place of dark chocolate.
  • Use a high-quality chocolate for the ganache. Chocolate chips tend to have stabilizers which will not melt as smoothly, making a less velvety ganache.
  • Don’t overheat the chocolate. Let cream and melted chocolate sit for a few minutes before stirring to silky smoothness.
  • Stir the chocolate slowly for the silkiest texture ganache.
• Any kind of chopped nuts will work well. Peanuts, pecans, and walnuts or a mixture of the above all work well.
