Equipment

  • 9-inch pie dish
  • Electric mixer
  • medium mixing bowl
  • rubber spatula

Ingredients
  

For the Crust

  • 2.25 cups vanilla wafer crumbs ~60 vanilla wafers, can use graham cracker crumbs instead
  • 0.25 cups brown sugar
  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter melted

For the Filling

  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese i.e. 1 8-oz. container
  • 0.5 cups confectioner’s sugar
  • 1.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2-3 teaspoon lemon zest zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 0.75 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1.33 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.)
  • Bake for 10 minutes.
  • 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.
  • Cover pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate until completely set (at least 4 hours or preferably overnight).
