Bittersweet Chocolate Fruit Dip

Coffee adds an unexpected richness to this dessert

This dip uses part-skim ricotta cheese to cut the fat. Add it to your fruit platter for a fun appetizer that's also healthy. Strawberries, pineapple chunks, apple slices and mango chunks all work well with this dip.
