I apologize to those of you I haven't seen in awhile ... but I am a homebody come winter. Period. My vitamin D levels are great, but I tend to be happy in my little warming hut we call home.
Ok, back to reality ... so psyched! Some energy and motivation coming back and honestly with no snow days or delayed openings this week, I actually have time to write! I just wanted to get back to sharing ideas and maybe some new recipes with all of you who have asked where I went!
I made this recipe last week because my family does enjoy their chocolate mousse. I don't even know what possessed me to make a dessert, but how could I say no to dark chocolate, ricotta cheese, cinnamon and a little brown sugar? Everyone needs a little sweet treat now and then ...
Chocolate Mousse Cups
Ingredients:
4 oz dark chocolate (I love dark but you can use milk)
1 Tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 cups ricotta cheese
Melt the chocolate in a metal bowl over boiling water. Blend everything in a food processor (my VitAMix was great) until smooth. Spoon into cups (I used 4 of my grandmother's old ice cream dishes) and chill in refrigerator for at least an hour.
Serve topped with whipped cream and a dusting of grated chocolate ... if you haven't eaten all of it by now!

Here's to warmer weather, longer days, flowers waking up and good times over good food ... my sweet spot!
