Chocolate Ricotta Mousse Recipe – Quick and Easy Low Carb Keto Friendly Dessert with Ricotta Cheese made in minutes – with the video tutorial.
Chocolate Ricotta Mousse
This Chocolate Ricotta Mousse Recipe makes an easy no bake dessert that can quickly be prepared in a few short minutes.
The easy dessert will satisfy any chocolate craving and you can make the treat quickly for yourself or as a fancy dessert to serve on a special occasion like Valentine’s Day. (For more inspiration, here are 15 Quick Keto Desserts for you.)
The best part is that you only need 3 simple ingredients to make the dreamy ricotta chocolate mousse:
Fresh Ricotta Cheese – high protein, creamy ricotta is used to subtly flavor and add wonderful texture to the easy mousse.
You can feel free to whisk heavy cream, coconut cream or heavy whipping cream into the mousse or even swap the whole milk ricotta cheese for cream cheese, cottage cheese or mascarpone cheese, depending on your tastes and the ingredients you have in your fridge.
Stevia – as my mousse is keto diet friendly, I’ve included stevia, as I usually do in my healthy desserts. You can feel free to swap that for any low carb sweetener or sugar you like that you usually include in your favorite recipes.
You can choose your own adventure, making the treat as sweet or as chocolatey as you like, depending on how much of each ingredient you add to the mixing bowl.
Unsweetened Cocoa Powder – to add decadent chocolate flavor to the creamy mousse, I’ve used rich cocoa powder.
You could also fold through grated bittersweet chocolate or semisweet chocolate chips for even more chocolatey goodness.
You can even omit the chocolate and make a vanilla flavored mousse by whisking through a half to a teaspoon of vanilla extract or vanilla essence, or a lemon mousse by whisking through lemon juice and lemon zest. You could even add instant espresso powder to create a coffee mousse.
Toppings Ideas – I’ve left this creamy ricotta cheese mousse simple as it is, but you can feel free to top your dessert with your choice of toppings to even further satisfy your sweet tooth.
Choose to top your decadent dessert with whipped cream, fresh berries, mint leaves or even shaved chocolate, dark chocolate curls or drizzled melted chocolate over the top of serving glasses.
The delicious recipe is so quick that you can even enjoy it straight from the food processor at room temperature if you don’t feel like waiting for it to chill and thicken further in the fridge.
