Steps:
- In a food processor, pulse ricotta and cocoa powder until completely smooth. Transfer mixture to a large bowl.
- Place egg whites, sugar, and pinch of salt in a medium heatproof mixing bowl set over (not in) a pot of simmering water. Cook, whisking constantly, until sugar dissolves and mixture is warm to the touch, about 3 minutes. Remove bowl from heat and, using an electric mixer, beat mixture on high until stiff glossy peaks form, about 5 minutes. With a rubber spatula, gently fold egg-white mixture into ricotta mixture until combined. Divide mousse among 6 glasses or small bowls. Refrigerate until set, 3 hours (or up to 1 day). To serve, lightly dust with cocoa powder, if desired.

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.

Tips:
- For a richer mousse, use full-fat ricotta cheese.
- If you don't have cocoa powder, you can use 1/4 cup of melted unsweetened chocolate.
- To make the mousse ahead of time, prepare it up to 24 hours in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Let it come to room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.
- For a more decadent mousse, top it with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or fresh berries.
- If you are using a food processor to make the mousse, be sure to pulse it until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Over-processing can make the mousse grainy.
