Ingredients
Scale
1 box vanilla cake mix (plus ingredients listed on the box)
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
1 container (15 ounces) ricotta cheese
1 container (8 ounces) mascarpone cheese
1½ cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup mini chocolate chips
Powdered sugar and additional mini chocolate chips for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Prepare the vanilla cake mix according to the package instructions. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake as directed, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes evenly across the entire surface of the cake.
- Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the cake, ensuring it seeps into the holes. Allow the cake to cool completely.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and creamy.
- Fold in the mini chocolate chips into the cheese mixture.
- Once the cake has cooled, spread the ricotta-mascarpone mixture evenly over the top.
- Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours, or until set.
- Before serving, dust with powdered sugar and sprinkle additional mini chocolate chips on top, if desired.
