Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups part-skim ricotta
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, plus more for dusting (optional)
2 large egg whites, room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
Coarse salt

Steps:

  • In a food processor, pulse ricotta and cocoa powder until completely smooth. Transfer mixture to a large bowl.
  • Place egg whites, sugar, and pinch of salt in a medium heatproof mixing bowl set over (not in) a pot of simmering water. Cook, whisking constantly, until sugar dissolves and mixture is warm to the touch, about 3 minutes. Remove bowl from heat and, using an electric mixer, beat mixture on high until stiff glossy peaks form, about 5 minutes. With a rubber spatula, gently fold egg-white mixture into ricotta mixture until combined. Divide mousse among 6 glasses or small bowls. Refrigerate until set, 3 hours (or up to 1 day). To serve, lightly dust with cocoa powder, if desired.

CHOCOLATE-AMARETTO RICOTTA MOUSSE



Chocolate-Amaretto Ricotta Mousse image

Adapted from Weight Watchers "Just 5" Recipe book, featuring 5 ingredients. This is a delightful mousse that is quite filling, so you can allow smaller servings. Create a beautiful presentation and top with a couple chocolate chips and some fresh raspberries. See my last step for correct nutritional counts, because the Lite ingredients don't compute correctly.

Time 15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup chocolate chips, semi-sweet
15 ounces low-fat ricotta cheese, part skim type
2 (1 g) packets Splenda sugar substitute (if desired, I don't use it)
1/2 teaspoon almond extract (or 1 T. amaretto)
1 cup light whipped topping (like Lite Cool Whip)

Steps:

  • In a food processor or blender, puree ricotta cheese, Splenda and almond extract (or Amaretto) until very smooth, stopping to clean down the sides periodically. (NOTE - It's smoother in a blender, but harder to incorporate because it's a thick mixture).
  • Put chocolate chips in a glass measuring cup and microwave in 30 second bursts, stirring every 15 seconds or so to keep temperature even throughout. Continue heating and stirring until very smooth.
  • Add melted chocolate to the ricotta mixture (RULE: always add melted chocolate to other ingredients, not the other way around. If you add a liquid to melted chocolate, you risk having the chocolate seize and harden!).
  • Gently fold whipped topping into ricotta-chocolate mixture. Refrigerate an hour before serving.
  • Divide into 6 servings. It looks beautiful served in a martini glass! Top with a couple chocolate chips and some raspberries, if desired.
