ALMOST TOO EASY RICOTTA MOUSSE WITH CHOCOLATE AND STRAWBERRIES – My Recipe For Happiness
Sometimes we need to to create or re-create moments of happiness, sometimes you just feel a sudden wave of happiness, a realization of how happy you really are in that precise instant. Maybe there are people walking around in a constant state of happiness but I am certainly not one of them. Neither do I want to be like that because I treasure those moments so much. I remember how used to feel happiness bubbling in the pit of my stomach when I galloped across a field on a horse when I was 10-11 years old and since then, I often think about what fine gifts those moments are. I can’t say that I felt it that much these last 4 years since my parents died but now and then I can feel a wave of happiness flush over me and that makes me even happier now when they are rarer.
But when we need a moment like that in times of stress or emptiness, there are ways to create it on our own; a nice spot to sit down on, a soft pillow, something beautiful to look at or a sweet, soft and luscious treat can make the difference. I wanted to participate in my sweet friend Giulia of Juls Kitchen‘s Recipe’s for Happiness event (you can win prizes!) so I decided to make a dessert for those moments when you feel the need to re-create happiness and I decided on ricotta and strawberries, throwing in some chocolate because we all know how good it is to make you feel happier. Softness, sweetness and a hint of something dark and exotic-my recipe for happiness!

Perfetta! Just add a glass of Prosecco!
By all means, this is my recipe for happiness, too. I’m swooning over the image with the doily. Sheer beauty!
What a lovely dessert, Ilva…
I have some ricotta at home (I’m away at the moment), and might just make this when I arrive back (the best part of any trip is returning home, in my humble opinion…
The strawberries have been so good this year…. I eat them almost daily with yogurt. Must try the ricotta!
Those cups are adorable! Where did you get them?
I lovely recipe ..bound to make you happy. I have a friend that seems always happy, how is this.. surely you can be like that all the time..

Happiness can be elusive but white pots like these would bring me happy smiles! Yes, I can see it’s almost too easy but once in a while easy can carry the day. Brilliant.
