This is a great dessert for when you want to make something in advance. The recipe comes from the Real Simple magazine--and it definitely lives up to it's name and is a very simple, easy dessert.
2 (15 oz.) containers Ricotta
12 oz. semisweet chocolate, melted and cooled
9 0z. package chocolate wafer cookies
1/4 cup shaved semisweet chocolate
In a food processor, puree the ricotta and melted chocolate until very smooth. Line an 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on 2 sides. Layer the ricotta mixture and half of the chocolate wafer cookies in the pan, then repeat (3 layers of the ricotta mixture and 2 layers of the cookies, beginning and ending with the ricotta mixture). Refrigerate for at least 12 hours and up to 2 days. To serve, remove from pan, slice and sprinkle with shaved semisweet chocolate (my slices didn't turn out quite as pretty as I would've liked, so I also added a drizzle of some chocolate sauce that both upped the chocolate flavor and camouflaged my not-so-cute slices---perfect!).
