For the Dessert Mixture
- 15 oz Ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup Powdered sugar

- Cover the cups with plastic wrap and refrigerate them for at least 1 hour.
- Top each cup with chocolate shavings or chocolate chips before serving. Optionally, add fresh berries and mint leaves.
- Serve chilled for the best experience!
