Chocolate Icebox Cake
Christopher Baker
How to Make It
Step 1
In a food processor, puree 2 15-ounce containers ricotta with 12 ounces melted and cooled semisweet chocolate until very smooth.
Step 2
Line an 8½-by-4½-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on 2 sides. Layer the ricotta mixture and half of a 9-ounce package of chocolate wafer cookies in the prepared pan (3 layers of the ricotta mixture and 2 layers of the cookies, beginning and ending with the ricotta mixture).
Step 3
Refrigerate for at least 12 hours and up to 2 days. To serve, remove from pan, slice, and sprinkle with ¼ cup shaved semisweet chocolate.

It sounds quite good. Why did it only get 3 stars?

Hi there - Don't be a slave to recipes, live on the edge! Unless you are baking, experiment with ingredients. Sometimes it doesn't work out but most of the time, it will be amazing! Yes, you can use mint chocolate wafers - I've made it with Oreos. One time all I had was ginger cookies. Have used half ricotta & half greek yogurt. Try adding a bit of espresso to the cheese mixture to turn it into a mocha dessert. Once, it didn't set up well so I broke up a few more cookies and spooned layers of cookies and mousse into parfait glasses, my guests loved it.
Have some fun and be creative - there's no recipe police looking over your shoulder!
