# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It tastes indulgent but feels light, so you can actually enjoy it without the guilt that usually follows dessert.
  • The whole thing comes together faster than it takes to brew coffee, perfect for when someone unexpected stops by.
  • Cottage cheese sneaks in serious protein, meaning this mousse keeps you satisfied longer than typical berry concoctions.
02 -
  • Drain frozen raspberries carefully if you use them—too much liquid will make the mousse weepy and thin instead of lush and thick.
  • Don't skip the hour of chilling; it makes an actual difference in texture, transforming it from a drink into something you eat with a spoon.
03 -
  • Blend in short bursts rather than one long spin so you maintain control over the texture and don't accidentally over-process it into something too thin.
  • Chill your serving glasses before adding the mousse if you're trying to impress someone—it keeps everything looking pristine longer and feels like a small luxury.
