Ingredients
- 50 grams unflavored casein protein powder
- 200 ml chilled low-fat heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 100 ml water
- 1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin powder
- 5 leaves fresh mint leaves (for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Begin by blooming the gelatin: In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over 100 ml of cold water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to absorb moisture and soften.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the unflavored casein protein powder and unsweetened cocoa powder. Mix well to ensure even distribution.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whip the chilled low-fat heavy cream using an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
Step 4
Once the gelatin mixture has softened, heat it gently over low heat or microwave for about 10 seconds until it's fully dissolved, but do not let it boil.
Step 5
Add the dissolved gelatin mixture, honey, and vanilla extract to the whipped cream. Mix gently with a spatula until combined.
Step 6
Gradually fold the casein and cocoa powder mixture into the whipped cream mixture. Use a gentle folding motion to maintain the airiness of the mousse.
Step 7
Once fully combined, divide the mousse into individual serving glasses or bowls. Gently tap each glass to level the top.
Step 8
Chill the mousse in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until set.
Step 9
Before serving, garnish with fresh mint leaves to add a refreshing aroma.
Step 10
Serve chilled and enjoy your low sodium casein mousse as a delightful and nutritious treat!
