Notes
- Use whole milk ricotta and buy the good stuff. It makes a real difference.
- Strain the ricotta well. This is the number one fix for runny dip.
- Use an electric mixer. Your arms will thank you.
- Add orange zest or a splash of orange juice for more orange flavor.
- Fold the chocolate chips in by hand so they do not break up.
- Sprinkle chopped toasted pistachios on top for crunch and color.
- Chill at least 15 minutes so the dip sets up before serving.
