Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Combine the ricotta, dutch process cocoa, lakanto sweetener (you can also use honey or regular sugar), stevia, and vanilla in a 32 ounce wide mouth mason jar.
Blend the ricotta mixture with an immersion blender until it is smooth and creamy.
Pour the mixture into 6 small ramekins. I use 4 ounce ramekins.
Cover the ramekins with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 4 hours, ideally overnight.
Top with whipped cream and Lily's chocolate chips if desired.

Notes

Full fat ricotta works the best for this recipe so that your mousse comes out thick, similar to classic mousse texture. Dutch process cocoa is recommended for this recipe as it is ideal for recipes that don't require a chemical leavener like baking soda, and has a much smoother flavor than regular cocoa powder. If you don't like using a sugar alternative, you can use regular sugar, powdered sugar, or honey in this recipe. I don't recommend maple syrup as it may thin the mixture too much for it to set up properly.
