Ingredients

  • 1 pre-made 9-inch graham cracker pie crust
  • 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese or cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 1/4 cups mini chocolate chips, divided
  • 1 cup whipped topping (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the ricotta cheese and mascarpone (or softened cream cheese) with a hand mixer on medium speed for 2–3 minutes until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon if using. Mix until fully incorporated and silky, scraping down the sides as needed.
  3. Gently fold in 1 cup of the mini chocolate chips, reserving 1/4 cup for topping.
  4. Spoon the filling into the prepared graham cracker crust and spread evenly, smoothing the top.
  5. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips over the surface.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until fully set.
  7. Garnish with whipped topping if desired, slice, and serve chilled.

Notes

  • If ricotta is very wet, strain it for 30 minutes to prevent a runny filling.
  • Chilling overnight enhances flavor and texture.
  • Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Freeze tightly wrapped for up to 1 month and thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Use freshly softened cream cheese for the smoothest consistency.
