  2. Make the Filling: Beat the cream cheese with sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, then fold in the ricotta and mini chocolate chips.
  3. Bake: Pour the filling over the crust and bake at 325°F for 40-45 minutes until edges are set with a slight jiggle in the center.
  4. Cool and Chill: Let cool to room temperature for about 1 hour, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
  5. Serve: Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
