For the Crust

- 1/4 cup Granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup Unsalted butter, melted

Preparation Steps
Combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter in a mixing bowl. Stir until everything is well mixed and forms a crumbly texture that holds together.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to create an even layer.
Beat the ricotta cheese and mascarpone until smooth and creamy in a large mixing bowl.
Mix in the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until fully incorporated.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips gently, taking care not to overmix.
Pour the ricotta filling over the prepared crust, spreading it evenly.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Sprinkle with chopped pistachios before serving, if desired.
Cut into squares and serve chilled.
For best flavor, refrigerate the dessert overnight and serve chilled. Optional: drizzle with chocolate sauce for extra indulgence.
