Quick chocolate mousse without eggs, I just have to say that one spoonful is enough to fall in love with it. It’s the classic dessert that comes about by chance, on an afternoon when I craved something creamy, indulgent, and, above all, quick to prepare.
No eggs, no cooking, but an amazing texture that conquers at the first taste. The base? Creamy ricotta, unsweetened cocoa, a touch of sugar, and whipped cream to make it all soft and velvety. I let the mousse rest in the fridge, then decorated it with dark chocolate shavings. A simple but always winning contrast.
My advice for serving it at its best? Accompany it with some cat’s tongue biscuits: the crunchiness of the cookies enhances the softness of the mousse and the wow effect is guaranteed.
It’s the perfect dessert when you have last-minute guests or simply when you want to indulge yourself without overcomplicating things. A chocolate treat that is loved in every season.
