I love simple recipes that feel like a small treat. Blueberry Cottage Cheese Mousse is light, creamy, and ready in minutes, perfect for busy mornings or a quick dessert. If you like soft, airy desserts, try my cottage cheese blueberry cloud bread for another twist.
Dad James always asked for seconds when I made this mousse after our Sunday walks by the lake.
Your Ingredients List
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 2 tablespoons honey or sweetener of choice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Pinch of salt
- Whipped cream (optional, for serving)
My Go-To Equipment
I use a blender or a food processor to make this mousse smooth. For a grab-and-go version, I sometimes bake muffins and lean on my favorite muffin tin when I make my lemon blueberry cottage cheese muffins.
The Simple Steps to Follow
- Add cottage cheese, blueberries, honey, vanilla, lemon juice, and salt to a blender or food processor.
- Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Taste the mousse and add more honey if you want it sweeter.
- Spoon the mousse into serving dishes.
- Chill the dishes in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
- Top with whipped cream if you like before serving.
Healthy Twists on a Classic
I like to swap honey for maple syrup for a warm note. You can add a scoop of Greek yogurt for more protein. For a protein-packed breakfast idea, I also make baked cottage cheese eggs, which pair well with this mousse when I serve a fuller meal.
Serving Suggestions From My Table
I serve the mousse in small glasses with a few extra berries on top. It also pairs well with a slice of toast or a light salad for a balanced brunch. For a special touch, I add a mint leaf and a dusting of lemon zest.
Getting It Just Right
Use full-fat cottage cheese for a creamier texture. If your blender struggles, pulse slowly and scrape down the sides. Chill the mousse well so it sets nicely and tastes fresh.
How to Store Leftovers
Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Stir gently before serving. Do not freeze the mousse; the texture will change when thawed.
Enjoy Every Moment
I make this mousse when I want a quick lift. It feels like a small, sweet victory in a busy day.
A Few Common Questions
How long does Blueberry Cottage Cheese Mousse last in the fridge?
I store it in an airtight container and it stays good for up to 2 days in the fridge. I like to eat it fresh the next day for the best texture.

Yes, frozen berries work well. Let them thaw a bit or blend them straight in; you may need to blend a little longer for a smooth texture.
