Description
Luscious ricotta cream piped into adorable mini chocolate cups! Finished with a chocolate dipped strawberry! Need I say more?
Ingredients
- 4 ounces, weight Semi-sweet Chocolate, Chopped
- ½ Tablespoons Vegetable Shortening
- ½ cups Part Skim Ricotta
- 2 teaspoons Sugar Substitute (or 1 Tablespoon Of Honey Or Maple Syrup)
- ½ teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- Optional Toppings: Mini Chocolate Chips, Fresh Fruit, Chopped Nuts, Etc
Preparation
Melt the chocolate and shortening in the microwave in 30 second intervals. Stir often and stop as soon as it’s melted or it will scorch. Or you can melt it on the stove top in a double boiler. Coat the inside of 9 mini paper baking cups with the melted chocolate. Transfer cups to the fridge for 15 minutes and then remove from the fridge and add another coating of chocolate. Return to the fridge for 30 minutes longer. Once the chocolate is set peel the paper away.
Combine the ricotta cheese, sugar substitute and vanilla extract. Transfer to a piping bag and pipe into the chocolate cups.
These can be topped off with just about anything! A chocolate dipped strawberry is perfect! Chopped nuts, fresh fruit and mini chocolate chips would also be great! Enjoy!

I attempted to make these for a party I had recently and didn’t get to finish them because I didn’t leave myself enough time. I just wanted to know how to make the chocolate more evn across the mini cupcake liner. I may not have added enough shortening or melted it long enough because I found it hard to distribute the chocolate evenly around the liner and ended up with some cups that were broken in places where the chocolate wasn’t thick enough. Any tips or hints on this? Thanks for this delightful recipe for such an attractive treat.

This sounds wonderful and actually healthier than most deserts. I love ricotta with a little sugar, vanilla, and espresso powder so I know I’m going to love these. Thank you!
