Fruit Ricotta Mousse Recipes

LEMON RICOTTA MOUSSE

Steps:

• Beat the ricotta and the sugar for several minutes with an electric mixer until it becomes creamy.
• Add the Limoncello or Grand Marnier.
• Whip the cream (or use whipped cream from a can) and fold in with a spoon or spatula.
• Serve topped with strawberries, raspberries or blueberries.

RASPBERRY-RICOTTA MOUSSE

Steps:

• In a food processor, blend the ricotta cheese until light and fluffy, about 20 seconds. Add the jam and pulse until combined. Transfer to a large bowl.
• In a separate bowl, using an electric hand mixer, beat the cream until thick. Add the powdered sugar and continue to beat until the cream holds stiff peaks. Working in batches, carefully fold the cream mixture into the ricotta mixture. Spoon the mousse into serving bowls and refrigerate for 1 hour. Garnish with fresh raspberries and serve.

RASPBERRIES AND RICOTTA MOUSSE

Steps:

• Mousse: In a food processor, mix ricotta and lemon juice until very creamy and homogeneous.
• In a bowl, whisk egg whites and tartar cream with a mixer until you have soft picks. Add sugar gradually while whisking until firm and straight picks, around 5 minutes. At low speed, incorporate the mixture of ricotta until all is homogeneous.
• Raspberry Garnish: In a bowl, mix raspberries with jam.
• Distribute the mousse in 4 parfait glass or ramequin (or any cute bowls you have) and add raspberry garnish. Put in the fridge. It's better if it's eaten the same day.

RICOTTA MASCARPONE MOUSSE W/ BALSAMIC STRAWBERRIES

Steps:

• 1. Begin by preparing your mousse. Beat cream in a bowl until it reaches the soft peak stage... then stop! Set aside.
• 2. In a separate bowl, add the lemon zest and 1/2 cup sugar to your ricotta and mascarpone. Whip with mixer until smooth. (Yum!)
• 3. Next, take the cream you've whipped and begin folding it into the cheese mixture. Take your time and go slowly.
• 4. You want a smooth texture. When complete, cover and chill for an hour or two.
• 5. When you're getting near serving time, begin preparing your berries. Place them in a bowl and add in the remaining sugar and all of the vinegar.
• 6. Toss quickly and serve promptly over your chilled mousse.
