The Creamy Chocolate Mousse Recipe You Need to Try ASAP

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Maryland chapter.

Chocolate lies on one end of the savory and sweet spectrum, while cheese lies on the other. But what happens when you combine the two? Answer: this light, delicious mousse.

This recipe uses cocoa powder and ricotta cheese for its main ingredients, creating a creamy, cheesecake-like treat — AKA perfect for an indulgent snack or dessert.

This mousse captures the sweetness of your favorite rich, chocolatey dessert, and if you want to go lighter on the sugar, you can choose to use an artificial sweetener like Truvia. Now, make like Hannah Montana and get the best of both worlds with this incredibly delicious chocolate mousse!
