- 0.5 cup Whole milk
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder

Instructions
Place the ricotta cheese in a food processor or blender and blend for 1-2 minutes until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips with whole milk, stirring frequently, until the mixture is smooth and glossy. Remove from heat.
Add the melted chocolate mixture to the ricotta cheese in the food processor or blender.
