Chef Eve 101 Makes: Sweet Ricotta Dip with Chocolate Recipe

Okay, we made spaghetti sauce one night and then had to make lasagna the next night with all of the leftover sauce.

  That led to leftover Ricotta cheese from the lasagna.  Am I the only person this happens to?

Seems like I’m always making one recipe based on a leftover from another!

Looking for something different a friend suggested I make a Ricotta dip similar to the innards of a Cannoli.  I found this simple recipe, and only made one slight change in italics below.  Bought some Nonni Biscotti for the dipping:

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 cups ricotta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons superfine sugar, plus more to taste if necessary
  • 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped (I bought mini chocolate chips and skipped the chopping!)

DIRECTIONS

In a small bowl, combine all ingredients until well-mixed. Taste and add more sugar if you would like it more sweet. Just remember what kind of cookie you will be serving the ricotta with — if it’s very sweet, you probably don’t want to make the ricotta overly sweet.
