Ingredients
Scale
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing well.
Gradually add in the flour and mix until combined.
Spread the mixture into a greased baking dish and bake for 20 minutes.
While the base is baking, prepare the filling by combining ricotta cheese, powdered sugar, cinnamon, chocolate chips, and orange zest in a separate bowl.
Once the base is done, let it cool before spreading the filling on top.
Cut into squares and serve chilled.
