RICOTTA MOUSSE with Pineapple
Can I prepare the pineapple mousse with ricotta in advance?
Absolutely yes! You can keep it in the fridge for 1-2 days, well covered. In fact, it’s even better after a few hours.
What type of pineapple is best to use?
Both fresh and canned pineapples are fine. Fresh ones have a more natural taste, while canned ones are quicker to use.
Can I replace the cream with something lighter?
Sure, you can use Greek yogurt or more ricotta.
Should the mousse be whipped with beaters?
Yes, first whip the cream and gently combine it with the ricotta to achieve a soft and airy consistency, but I’ll let you in on a secret, I use vegetable cream and whip with an immersion blender.
Is it a dessert suitable for children?
Absolutely yes: it contains no eggs or alcohol, so it’s perfect even for the little ones.
