Lemon Cottage Cheese Mousse

🍋 Lemon Cottage Cheese Mousse (Weight Watchers Friendly)

Serves 4 | 1–2 WW Points per serving (depending on sweetener choice)

✨ Ingredients:

• 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese (1% or fat-free) — 2 points
• 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk or skim milk — 0 points (almond) or 1 point (skim)
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice — 0 points
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest — 0 points
• 2 teaspoons granulated sweetener (stevia, monk fruit, or erythritol) — 0 points
  (use more or less to taste; 0 points if using stevia/monk fruit)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional) — 0 points
• 1 packet sugar-free lemon gelatin mix (optional for extra tanginess and firmer texture) — 0 points

🥣 Instructions:

1. Blend the Cottage Cheese:
   • Add the cottage cheese, almond milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, sweetener, and vanilla extract to a blender or food processor.
   • Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
2. Optional: Add Gelatin Mix (for a firmer mousse):
   • If using the sugar-free lemon gelatin mix, dissolve it in 2 tablespoons hot water (or as package directs for a small batch). Let it cool slightly, then blend it into the mousse mixture.
3. Chill:
   • Divide the mixture into 4 small dessert cups or ramekins.
   • Refrigerate for at least 2 hours (overnight is best) to let it set.
4. Serve:
   • Top with extra lemon zest or a sprinkle of crushed sugar-free graham cracker crumbs (optional, add points if using).

🧮 WW Points Recap:

Estimated per serving: ~0.5–1 point (round up to 1 if you prefer)

✅ Tips & Variations:

• Add a tablespoon of light whipped topping before serving (1 point).
• Swap in Greek yogurt for some of the cottage cheese for a different texture (add points if using full-fat).
• Sprinkle with crushed graham cracker for a “cheesecake” vibe (1 point per tablespoon).
