Ingredients

Scale

Granola Base

  • 1 cup vanilla granola (blended into a powder)

Cheesecake Filling

  • 1.5 cups cottage cheese (good culture low fat 2%)
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp vanilla bean paste (or 1 tsp vanilla extract)

Cookie Dough Bites

  • 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp creamy all natural almond butter
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 2 tbsp mini dark chocolate chips

Whipped Cream Topping

  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
  • 1–2 tsp powdered sugar (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Granola Powder: Blend 1 cup of vanilla granola in a blender until it turns into a fine powder. Set this aside as the base layer for your mousse.
  2. Make Cheesecake Filling: In a food processor, combine 1.5 cups cottage cheese, 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup maple syrup, and 1 tbsp vanilla bean paste. Process for about 15 seconds, being careful not to over-process to avoid a runny texture. Chill in the refrigerator.
  3. Form Cookie Dough Bites: In a bowl, mix 2 tbsp pure maple syrup, 2 tbsp creamy almond butter, 1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste, 1/2 cup almond flour, and 2 tbsp mini dark chocolate chips. Roll this mixture into bite-sized balls.
  4. Prepare Whipped Cream: Whip 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream with 1 tsp vanilla bean paste and 1-2 tsp powdered sugar (optional) until soft peaks form. Keep refrigerated until ready to use.
  5. Assemble Mousse: Layer your dessert in jars or serving glasses starting with a layer of granola powder, followed by the cheesecake filling, then the cookie dough bites scattered on top or mixed in, and finally a generous topping of homemade whipped cream.

Notes

  • Use low-fat cottage cheese and plain Greek yogurt for a healthier profile without compromising creaminess.
  • Vanilla bean paste adds a richer vanilla flavor compared to vanilla extract, but either works.
  • Adjust powdered sugar in whipped cream based on your sweetness preference.
  • Do not over-process the cheesecake filling to maintain a thick mousse consistency.
  • Store assembled mousse in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days for best freshness.
