Notes
- Cottage Cheese To Use: You can use fat-free, low-fat, or full-fat cottage cheese in this recipe!
- Drain The Cottage Cheese: If your cottage cheese is runny or has excess liquid, it's important to drain it before using it in the recipe. Place the cottage cheese in a fine mesh strainer and let it sit over a bowl for a few minutes to remove the extra moisture. This helps ensure your mousse stays thick and creamy.
- Defrost The Whipped Topping: Follow the directions on the package to defrost the frozen whipped topping in the refrigerator before folding it in.
- Add More Whipped Topping: For an even fluffier strawberry mousse, feel free to fold in more whipped topping.
- Sweeten To Taste: Adjust the sweetness based on your strawberries. You can add an extra teaspoon of sweetener or more if needed.
