Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 4 oz dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 0.125 tsp sea salt
- 0.5 cup fresh berries (optional for garnish)
- 1 tbsp shaved chocolate (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and place it in a microwave-safe bowl.
Heat the chocolate in 15-second intervals in the microwave, stirring between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Let it cool slightly but not solidify.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the ricotta cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Slowly add the melted chocolate to the ricotta mixture, folding it in carefully to create a uniform, chocolatey mixture.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with a hand or stand mixer until it forms stiff peaks.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate-ricotta mixture, being careful not to deflate the cream. Sprinkle in sea salt to enhance the flavor.
Divide the mixture evenly into dessert cups or small bowls.
Refrigerate the desserts for at least 1 hour to set and chill properly.
Before serving, garnish the Chocolate Ricotta Cream with fresh berries and shaved chocolate, if desired.
