Ingredients
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
- 1.5 cups fresh raspberries
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 pieces mint leaves
- 6 pieces whole raspberries (for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese and powdered sugar. Whisk vigorously until smooth and creamy, or use a hand mixer for quicker results.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream using a hand or stand mixer until soft peaks form. This should take about 2-3 minutes on medium-high speed.
Step 3
Gently fold the whipped cream into the sweetened ricotta mixture using a rubber spatula. Be careful not to deflate the cream; the goal is to maintain the airy texture.
Step 4
Reserve 1/4 cup of raspberries for garnishing and place the remaining raspberries in a blender or food processor along with the lemon juice. Blend until smooth to create a raspberry purée.
Step 5
Strain the raspberry purée through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds, if desired, for a smoother texture.
Step 6
Gently fold half of the raspberry purée into the ricotta-cream mixture to create a marbled or swirled effect. Do not overmix; the goal is to layer the flavors.
Step 7
Spoon the mousse into serving glasses or bowls, dividing it evenly. Drizzle the remaining raspberry purée on top of each serving.
Step 8
Garnish each mousse with mint leaves, a whole raspberry, and a touch of powdered sugar if desired for an elegant presentation.
Step 9
Chill the mousse in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow flavors to meld and texture to set.
