CHOCOLATE-AMARETTO RICOTTA MOUSSE
Adapted from Weight Watchers "Just 5" Recipe book, featuring 5 ingredients. This is a delightful mousse that is quite filling, so you can allow smaller servings. Create a beautiful presentation and top with a couple chocolate chips and some fresh raspberries. See my last step for correct nutritional counts, because the Lite ingredients don't compute correctly.

Steps:
- In a food processor or blender, puree ricotta cheese, Splenda and almond extract (or Amaretto) until very smooth, stopping to clean down the sides periodically. (NOTE - It's smoother in a blender, but harder to incorporate because it's a thick mixture).
- Put chocolate chips in a glass measuring cup and microwave in 30 second bursts, stirring every 15 seconds or so to keep temperature even throughout. Continue heating and stirring until very smooth.
- Add melted chocolate to the ricotta mixture (RULE: always add melted chocolate to other ingredients, not the other way around. If you add a liquid to melted chocolate, you risk having the chocolate seize and harden!).
- Gently fold whipped topping into ricotta-chocolate mixture. Refrigerate an hour before serving.
- Divide into 6 servings. It looks beautiful served in a martini glass! Top with a couple chocolate chips and some raspberries, if desired.

CHOCOLATE AND AMARETTO MOUSSE IN ALMOND LACE BOWLS
Steps:
- For the chocolate and amaretto mousse: Heat the cream in a small pot over medium heat. Once it starts to steam, remove from the heat and whisk in the chocolate until melted. Let cool. Carefully add the cooled chocolate cream, 2 tablespoons at a time, into a bowl with the egg yolks, mixing continuously. Stir in the amaretto. Beat the egg whites and sugar in a bowl to form a meringue, and then fold into the chocolate mixture. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour. For the almond lace bowls: Combine the butter, corn syrup and sugar in a pot over medium heat until simmering. Whisk together the flour and almonds, and then stir into the butter mixture, 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate covered, 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Scoop tablespoons of batter and roll into balls. Place 3 inches apart on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet (only 4 balls per row), and bake until golden, 10 minutes. Let cool until they can be touched, but are still warm enough to be pliable. Place on top of a small inverted bowl to shape, and then let cool until hardened completely, 2 minutes.
- Transfer the chocolate mousse to a piping bag and pipe into the almond lace bowls. Garnish with toasted almonds.
CHOCOLATE-AMARETTO MOUSSE PIE
My mother made this silky pie when I was a child. It was my father's favorite. The fluffy chocolate-almond filling is held in a thin chocolate shell. Be warned, it is so rich that you should only take a sliver.-Jamie Burkhart, Windsor, Missouri

Steps:
- Heat half-and-half just up to the scald. Transfer to the canister of a blender (NOT a food processor).
- While running on "high", add the eggs, Amaretto, salt and chocolate chips, in that order. Run until chips melt completely. Pour through a strainer into individual cups (or a pretty serving bowl). Refrigerate overnight until set. Serve with lightly sweetened whipped cream.
- Bailey's, Kahlua or other liqueur can be substituted for the Amaretto. I've also made it without liqueur, and used a few drops of mint extract.
