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.
Add granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cocoa powder, and salt to the food processor as well. Blend until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
Divide the chocolate ricotta mixture evenly into 4 serving dishes or ramekins.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the pudding to set and chill completely.
Before serving, top each serving with a dollop of whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings or a dusting of cocoa powder.
