Directions
-
Bake the Base: Preheat your oven and prepare the chocolate cake mix according to the package instructions. Pour the batter into a 9×13 inch pan and bake. Once baked, let the cake cool completely. The tremendous aroma of chocolate will fill your kitchen as it bakes.
-
Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, instant chocolate pudding mix, and milk. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and well-combined. The creamy texture of the ricotta will provide a marvelous contrast to the cake.
-
Layer the Dessert: After the cake has cooled, carefully cut it into layers. Start assembling your dessert by placing one layer of cake at the bottom of a serving dish. Add a layer of the ricotta mixture on top, followed by a layer of whipped cream. Repeat the layering process until all ingredients are used up, ensuring that you finish with a generous layer of whipped cream on top.
-
Garnish: To add that finishing touch, sprinkle chocolate shavings or dust cocoa powder over the top layer of whipped cream. This adds a delightful visual appeal and a slight crunch to each bite.
-
Chill Before Serving: Cover the dessert with plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving. This resting period allows the flavors to meld beautifully, creating a tremendous treat that your guests will love.
