What makes mousse a mousse?

Are you a fan of ricotta mousse? Then you’re in for a real treat. Mousse is an incredibly light and delicious dessert that is sure to satisfy any sweet tooth. But what really makes mousse so unique? Well, it is all in the preparation! 

Traditional Mousse Ingredients

Traditional mousse is made by whipping heavy cream, eggs, and sugar together until smooth. When using ricotta cheese, the ricotta adds a creamy texture and flavor that truly elevates the flavor profile of the dessert. This smoothly blended combination creates an airy experience with each spoonful that feels lighter than air on your palate. Using ricotta cheese is a lighter version and is also egg free option.  

As an alternative to other types of filling, I love using ricotta in recipes 

Why is my chocolate mousse not fluffy?

Creating the perfect mousse can be a challenge and if yours has not turned out as fluffy as you hoped, then the most likely explanation is that the chocolate you used was too thick. This can happen if you use one with a high cocoa content or if you don’t melt it down enough before adding in your other ingredients.
