       16 oz container of ricotta cheese
      1/2 c  plus 2 tablespoons sugar

        8 oz semisweet chocolate chips

  Put a medium bowl in freezer. Cut pound cake into 1/2
  inch slices. In a second medium bowl, combine ricotta
  with 1/2 cup sugar. Remove bowl from freezer and add
  the cream and beat with electric mixer on high until
  it holds stiff peaks. With a rubber spatula, fold
  whipped cream into ricotta mixture. Fold in chocolate

  slices of pound cake, cutting the cake as needed to
  cover the bottom. Stir remaining sugar into coffee.
  Dip pastry brush in the coffee and dab cake until it
  is soaked through. Using a rubber spatula, spread 1/4
  of the ricotta mixture gently over the first layer of
  the cake. Arrange another layer of cake over the
  ricotta mixture and use pastry brush to soak it with
  coffee. Cover cake with another layer of ricotta
  mixture. Repeat until you have 4 layers of each,
  ending with the ricotta layer. Cover and refrigerate
  for at least 4 hours. Sprinkle cocoa powder on top
  before serving.
