Ingredients

1 – 12oz Bellwether Farms Whole Milk Basket Ricotta
2 Tablespoons powdered sugar
5 oz – semi-sweet chocolate, melted
1 cup heavy cream (not ultra-pasteurized)
3 Tablespoons Grand Marnier liqueur

Directions

In a food processor, blend the ricotta, sugar and melted chocolate until smooth. Add the Grand Marnier and pulse until combined. Transfer the mousse to a large mixing bowl and set aside.
