Steps
● Ricotta and chocolate treats are super easy and quick to prepare. For this recipe, the ricotta must be very dry; if you take it fresh, let it drain a bit before using it (an entire night would be ideal).
● Melt the dark chocolate in a double boiler or microwave. In a bowl, place the well-drained ricotta, the melted dark chocolate, and quickly mix the two ingredients using a fork, ensuring there are no lumps.
● Transfer the mixture into a dish lined with plastic wrap and level it well.
● Place the dessert in the fridge to rest for at least 2 hours before unmolding it, so it will compact well. The longer it stays in the fridge, the more compact it will become.
● Once well chilled, unmold the dessert and cut it into pieces. Here are our delicious ricotta and chocolate treats ready.
Notes:
Ricotta and chocolate treats can be stored in the fridge for 3-4 days. Instead of dark chocolate, you can also use milk chocolate. I don’t recommend substituting the ricotta, but if you must, you can use mascarpone.
