# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It tastes indulgent and decadent while actually being gentle on your body, packed with protein that keeps you satisfied without the heavy feeling.
  • No baking, no complicated techniques, just ten minutes of blending before you can forget about it and go do something else.
  • The creamy tartness of cottage cheese plays beautifully against tart raspberries and the gentle sweetness of honey, making it feel fancy without tasting artificial.
02 -
  • Over-blending is nearly impossible with this recipe, so don't worry about the texture breaking down, but do make sure every speck of cottage cheese is incorporated or you'll get an unpleasant grainy bite in what should be pure silk.
  • If you use frozen raspberries, drain them really well after thawing or your mousse will taste watery and your careful blending will have been for nothing.
03 -
  • If your cottage cheese looks grainy even after blending, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve for a few minutes first, and your mousse will taste silky instead of chalky.
  • Add your honey while everything else is blending rather than beforehand, so it distributes evenly and you don't end up with pockets of sweetness and tartness fighting each other.
