This is the most delectable and satisfying chocolate mousse you will eat. Replacing thickened cream with low fat ricotta cheese makes this dessert creamy, tasty and a lot less fattening.
Adding in the spices and coffee give the chocolate more body and flavor layers. This mousse can be made super quickly and is super easy.
Never again will I make chocolate mousse with cream!
