The best thing about this chocolate mousse is that it can be served the minute it is made.
If you do wish to make it a day ahead, refrigerate, covered, then bring to room temperature before serving.
You could also top each serving with cherries or pomegranate seeds or any berries you prefer.

Dark chocolate & ricotta mousse
1.Stir syrup, cocoa, the water and extract in a small saucepan over medium heat; bring to the boil. Remove from heat; cool.
2.Place chocolate in a small heatproof bowl over a small saucepan of simmering water (don’t let the water touch the base of the bowl); stir until melted and smooth.
3.Process dates and milk until dates are finely chopped. Add ricotta; process until smooth. Add melted chocolate; process until well combined.
4.Spoon mousse into six ¾ cup (180ml) serving glasses. Serve topped with raspberries and extra dates; drizzled with cocoa syrup.
Unlike most mousse recipes this can be served immediately. If you wish to make it a day ahead, refrigerate, covered, then bring to room temperature before serving.
