Happy Friday, My Lovelies!
Lately, I've been making recipes I've never tried before from my favorite recipe books. This week I made a super-easy Chocolate Ricotta Mousse Cup from Erin Gleeson's The Forest Feast. I own a couple of her books, and I love how easy her recipes are, and her tips for entertaining are fantastic, too.
If the book sounds familiar, I featured it and a few of Gleeson's other products five years ago. Here is the LINK to that post and recipe.
What I love most about this book: Almost all of the recipes have four or fewer ingredients. They feature fresh produce, which I love! Plus Erin is an artist, and her illustrations are so pretty. Not only will this book make your tummy happy, it is also a feast for your eyes!
Chocolate mousse should count as a comfort food, especially when it's hot outside. My best friend gave me the little parfait glasses, and I love them.
Erin added real whipped cream and chocolate shavings to her mousse. I decided not to do so and save the calories.
What I love about this recipe is there is just a wee bit of sugar in it, and you can choose the type of chocolate you use. If you want it more bitter, use a bitter chocolate; if you want it a little sweeter, choose a German chocolate baking chocolate. Here is the LINK for the chocolate ricotta mousse cups recipe.
I have completely reorganized our kitchen and tiny pantry. Nothing blog worthy, but it has made me fall in love with the space all over again. It's amazing what a little organization and editing can do for any space!
What is your go-to summertime comfort food? I think I've found a new one!

That looks divine! My favorite summer recipe -- it's more like favorite summer food, which tends to be caprese salad (fresh mozzerella, basil and tomatoes at their peak!) and fresh corn on the cob -- boiled or grilled, a little butter, salt and lime. Talk about taking it easy!
ReplyDeleteThe desert cups look yummy. Nice and light for summer. I agree it is amazing how refreshing it is to clean out a closet or in your case pantry and get organized. Happy Saturday. xoxo Kris
