Ingredients
  • 2 cup heavy cream (cold)

  • 16 ounce ricotta
  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese (or cream cheese)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/4 cup semi sweet chocolate chips

  2. Add chocolate chips and gently fold into the whipped cream.
  3. Next, add a little whipped cream to a cake stand (or plate) and smear it around the plate (this helps hold the cookies to the plate).

  5. Add 1⁄4 of the whipped cream and spread over cookies.
  6. Now add five more cookies on top of whipped cream, repeat layers of cookies and whipped cream until you run out of cookies (two more layers).
