Coffee Ricotta Mousse (Mary Carriger) These metric equivalents probably aren't exact, but it's not real crucial for this recipe anyway. You can use a soup spoon to measure tablespoons; teaspoons are regular-sized spoons. (You probably already know that.) 1 pound ricotta cheese (.45 kilo) 1/2 cup powdered sugar (about 1/8 litre) 2 tablespoons instant coffee granules 1/2 teaspoon vanilla 1 tablespoon brandy Mix all ingredients in blender or with an electric mixer until smooth, then refrigerate. Makes enough for about four people.
