So easy I could scream: Chocolate Ricotta Mousse
After a recent trip to Houston to visit my friend Courtney, I was inspired by her masterful use of ricotta (her sweetest trick: a scoop of ricotta, a fresh slices of peach, and a little drizzle of honey--heaven!). When I returned home, I immediately went on a quest to find any and every recipe that uses this simple ingredient. Unsurprisingly, one of the best ones I found was in my good friend Real Simple mag. Try it now and thank me later.
CHOCOLATE RICOTTA MOUSSE
Ingredients
- 1 15-ounce container ricotta (about 2 cups)
- 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
- 4 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted, plus more, shaved, for topping
Directions
- In a food processor, blend the ricotta, sugar, and melted chocolate until smooth.
- Divide among bowls and top with the shaved chocolate. (The mousse can be refrigerated until ready to serve, up to 2 days. Bring to room temperature before serving.)
P.S. Another great find? Honey-Tomato Bruschetta with Ricotta from Food & Wine.
