This recipe was very delicious! It really was good with raspberries. As for portion size, 1/4 cup was plenty for me. However, I used a mix of 90% dark chocolate and 80% dark chocolate, so mine was a bit richer than it would have been if I used a lower percentage dark chocolate. The texture is not quite as smooth as with regular mouse because of the ricotta, but this could probably be fixed with a better food processor. I would definitely make it again!
