This is a simple, yet satisfying chocolate dessert. It’s best made the day before eating so it has time to sit. Adapted from Weight Watchers.
Serves 8
1 prepared chocolate cracker pie crust 1 egg
2⅓ cups part-skim ricotta cheese 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 ounces non-fat cream cheese 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
½ cup sugar 2 tablespoons mini semisweet morsels
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Preheat oven to 300°. Place prepared crust on a cookie sheet.
In a food processor, purée the ricotta, cream cheese, sugar, cocoa, egg, flour, and vanilla until evenly mixed. By hand, stir in the mini morsels.
Pour mixture into prepared pie crust. Bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1¼ – 1½ hours. Cool completely then refrigerate, covered, for at least 3 hours.
