Notes
Consistency: The texture of the mousse will depend on the type of cottage cheese or Greek yogurt you use. For the smoothest texture use a high-powered blender or food processor. If you use greek yogurt, you can also use a hand mixer.
Sweetness: Adjust the amount of maple syrup or alternative sweetener to suit your taste. You can always start with less and add more as needed.
Chilling: If you prefer a firmer texture, chill the mousse in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving. This will allow it to set and thicken.
