How to Make Fruit Ricotta Mousse

  1. In a medium bowl, gently combine 15 ounces of ricotta cheese with 1/4 cup of your chosen fruit jam (ensure it matches your fruit).
  2. In a separate bowl, mash 2 cups of your fresh fruit of choice (strawberries or cherries recommended). If using strawberries, ensure they are fresh, not frozen.
  3. Gently fold the mashed fruit into the ricotta mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  4. Divide the mousse into individual serving dishes or ramekins.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the mousse to chill. This is the 'cooking time' where the flavors marry!
  6. Garnish with fresh fruit and a dollop of extra jam before serving. Enjoy!
