Equipment
- food processor
- large bowl
- Rubber spatula
Ingredients
Mousse Base
- 1 pound Homemade Fresh Ricotta or store-bought fresh ricotta drained
- 2 tablespoons clover honey plus more for drizzling
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla bean paste or extract
- 1 pinch kosher salt
- 1 cup heavy cream
Garnish
- Toasted almond slices
- sliced fresh strawberries

Instructions
Preparation
- Process ricotta, honey, vanilla bean paste, and salt in a food processor until very smooth, about 2 minutes, stopping to scrape down sides of bowl as needed.

Notes
For variations, consider using orange segments or figs instead of strawberries, or change the honey drizzle with maple syrup.
