- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

- Place the cottage cheese, mango chunks, chosen sweetener, vanilla extract, cardamom, and lemon juice into a high-speed blender or food processor.
- Process the mixture for 20-30 seconds until the cottage cheese curds are completely broken down and the texture is silky and velvet-like.
- Taste the mousse and adjust the sweetness or acidity by adding more honey or lemon juice if necessary, pulsing briefly to incorporate.
- Transfer the mousse into individual ramekins or serving glasses.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 to 60 minutes to allow the mousse to set and the flavors to meld.
- Just before serving, top with fresh mint, pistachios, coconut, or chia seeds for added texture.
