Chocolate Ricotta Mousse
I have to confess how this recipe came to be: I'm a Nutella lover and recently a new chocolate-almond spread by a famous company hit the shelves at my grocery store. After several weeks, I finally succumbed to the temptation and had to try it. I like almonds even more than I like hazelnuts so I had high expectations...and huge disappointment after one spoonful. It was wayyyy too sweet for my taste and sadly lacking in almond flavor. I hated to waste it so I began brainstorming ways to cut the sugar, thinking all the while of how nothing compares to Nutella... That's when my mind jumped to another Italian ingredient: ricotta cheese. Perfect!
This recipe is so easy. You can use your favorite chocolate spread (Nutella!) and adjust the quantities based on your needs. You can dress it up for a fancy dessert or eat it straight out of the bowl--for breakfast--like I did. 🙂

What do parts mean?
Parts mean you can use any measurement you like - you can make a single serving or enough to feed a crowd. For example, 2 cups ricotta to 1 cup Nutella. Or, 1/2 cup ricotta to 1/4 cup Nutella. Hope that helps.
it looks delicious!
thank you!
I'll have to try this, I love ricotta cheese, and Jesse loves any excuse to buy Nutella! 🙂
