Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Ricotta cheese
- 4 ounces Dark chocolate, melted
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Cocoa powder (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon Chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the ricotta cheese, melted dark chocolate, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a food processor or blender.
Blend the ingredients until smooth and the mixture is light and creamy, about 1-2 minutes. Stop and scrape down the sides as needed.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream using a hand mixer or a whisk until soft peaks form, approximately 2-3 minutes.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate and ricotta mixture with a spatula, being careful not to deflate the cream.
Spoon the mousse into serving cups or bowls and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to chill and set.
Before serving, garnish with a dusting of cocoa powder and chocolate shavings if desired.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
