Ingredients

  • 1 pre-baked pie crust (store-bought or homemade)

  • 2 cups whole milk ricotta cheese

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon. Mix until smooth.

  2. Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips.

  3. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.

  4. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the ricotta mixture until well combined and smooth.

  5. Pour the mixture into the pre-baked pie crust and smooth the top.

  6. Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best texture.
