16 oz container of ricotta cheese
1/2 c plus 2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 c heavy cream
8 oz semisweet chocolate chips

Put a medium bowl in freezer. Cut pound cake into 1/2
inch slices. In a second medium bowl, combine ricotta

the cream and beat with electric mixer on high until
it holds stiff peaks. With a rubber spatula, fold
whipped cream into ricotta mixture. Fold in chocolate
chips. Line bottom of a deep glass serving bowl with
slices of pound cake, cutting the cake as needed to
cover the bottom. Stir remaining sugar into coffee.
Dip pastry brush in the coffee and dab cake until it
is soaked through. Using a rubber spatula, spread 1/4
of the ricotta mixture gently over the first layer of
the cake. Arrange another layer of cake over the
ricotta mixture and use pastry brush to soak it with
coffee. Cover cake with another layer of ricotta
mixture. Repeat until you have 4 layers of each,
ending with the ricotta layer. Cover and refrigerate
for at least 4 hours. Sprinkle cocoa powder on top
before serving.
