Ingredients
1 premade pie crust
1/2 cup whole milk Ricotta Cheese strained
1/4 cup mascarpone cheese
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1/3 cup mini chocolate chips; plus more for topping
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Unroll the room temperature pie crust onto lightly floured
surface or cutting board. Use a 2 ½ inch round biscuit cutter, round cookie cutter, or a cup
and cut out 12 rounds of pie crust. Place rounds in a ungreased mini muffin tin. Use your
fingers to press the dough to fit the pan.
2. Bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until pie cups are a light golden brown. Once baked, let cool
for 15 minutes.
3. In a medium bowl, mix together the strained ricotta, mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar,
vanilla extract and mini chocolate chips until combined.
4. Spoon in ricotta filling into pie cups. If you want to make them look extra pretty, scoop filling
into a zip-lock bag (large resealable bag) and cut a corner of the bag or add them to a pastry
bag or piping bag (I love using the star tip). Squeeze filling into pie cups and sprinkle mini
chocolate chips and dust with powdered sugar. Enjoy!
