For the Filling
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese i.e. 1 8-oz. container
- ½ cup confectioner’s sugar
- 1½ tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- 2-3 tsp lemon zest zest of 1 lemon
- 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
- ¾ cup heavy whipping cream
- 1⅓ cups mini chocolate chips divided
Instructions
For the Crust
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Spray a 9-inch pie dish with nonstick cooking spray; set dish aside.
- Using a medium mixing bowl, add vanilla wafer crumbs, brown sugar and butter; stir until well combined.
- Press mixture firmly into bottom and sides of the prepared pan. (Tip: A flat bottomed glass is helpful for this step.)

- Remove pan from oven and place on a wire rack to let cool to room temperature.
For the Filling
- Using an electric mixer, whip the mascarpone and confectioner’s sugar for 2-3 minutes, or until completely smooth.
- Add vanilla, cinnamon, lemon zest and ricotta; mix until just combined.
- Using a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form (~2-3 minutes on medium speed). Fold ⅓ of the whipped cream into the ricotta mixture.
- Add remaining whipped cream and use a rubber spatula to fold mixture until just combined.
- Gently fold in ⅔ cup of chocolate chips.
- Spread mixture evenly into the cooled crust.
- Sprinkle remaining chocolate chips on top of pie.
