Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup brewed espresso, cooled
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pound ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 24 ladyfinger cookies
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl over simmering water. Let it cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, mix the espresso, sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract until the sugar is dissolved.
- In another bowl, beat the ricotta cheese and heavy cream together until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually fold the melted chocolate into the ricotta mixture until fully combined.
- Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the espresso mixture (be careful not to soak them too long), then arrange them in a single layer at the bottom of a 9×9-inch dish.
- Spread half of the chocolate ricotta mixture over the ladyfingers. Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and the remaining ricotta mixture.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
- For an extra layer of chocolatey goodness, sprinkle some shaved chocolate or cocoa powder on top before serving.
- Make sure the espresso is cooled before dipping the ladyfingers to prevent them from becoming too soggy.
- This dessert can be made a day ahead for the best flavor.
