The ricotta kisses are no-bake treats that are extremely easy and quick to prepare, and truly delicious. I had some amaretti to use up, and I thought of preparing fragrant sweets with a creamy filling rich with dark chocolate chips, fresh and tasty bites to prepare in 10 minutes, perfect at the end of a meal or as a snack. The kisses will win everyone over, forget cherries, these are truly addictive!

Steps
The ricotta kisses with chocolate chips are very simple and quick to prepare, first put the ricotta, sugar, and vanilla in a bowl and mix with a fork, then fold in the chocolate chips.
Take an amaretto and fill the base with a dollop of ricotta cream using a teaspoon or, as I did (to be more precise and clean), put the cream in a piping bag with or without a nozzle.
Close with another amaretto and press gently. Mix the milk and coffee (I used one espresso cup of coffee, about 1 oz, and 3 oz of milk), quickly dip the ricotta kisses and immediately roll them in the shredded coconut.
Let the ricotta kisses rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Advice:
Ricotta kisses can be stored in the fridge for 3/4 days. You can soak the treats in milk only or coffee only (in the latter case, choose whether to sweeten it beforehand) or make a mix of milk and cocoa for a more chocolaty version. If you prefer, you can omit the chocolate and use candied fruit. When soaking the cookies, do not drench them completely; just wet the outer part to make the coconut stick, otherwise they will become too soggy.
