Instructions
- Add the cottage cheese, coconut milk, sweetener ad vanilla extract to a high-speed blender and blend until smooth.

- Whisk together until well combined, making sure there are no clumps of chia seeds in the bowl.

Notes

- Adjust sweetness to taste by adding more sweetener if needed.
- Greek yogurt can be used instead of cottage cheese for a tangy twist.
- Chill overnight for best results so the chia seeds fully absorb and thicken the mousse.
