1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
1/ 3 cup sugar
3/ 4 teaspoon orange zest
3 tablespoons orange juice
2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
1 apple, cored and cut into 8 wedges
1 pear, cored and cut into 8 wedges
1 plum, pitted and cut into 8 wedges
1 pint strawberries, hulled

In a blender or food processor, combine the cheese, sugar, orange peel and orange juice and process until smooth.

Transfer the mixture to a bowl and fold in 1 tablespoon of the chocolate chips.
Place the fruit on a platter and spoon the ricotta mixture over it. Sprinkle with remaining chocolate chips, and serve.

NOTE: You can also arrange the fruit in four large goblets or wine glasses and top each portion with some of the sauce and chips. Other fresh fruits can be substituted. Apricots, raspberries and blueberries are all good in this recipe.
