Chocolate Ricotta Pudding image

From Every Night Italian, posted for ZWT IV. Described as "not a mousse, not a custard, not really a pudding...it is a creamy chocolate dessert that is easy to make." Prep time does not include overnight refrigeration. Note: this contains uncooked egg yolks, so if you are concerned about that - don't make this OR here is a link with tips about how to cook them before using without turning them into scrambled eggs. http://whatscookingamerica.net/Eggs/RawEggs.htm
