3/4 cup milk
15 oz ricotta cheese
1 tbsp dried orange peel (optional)

Refrigerate while you bake muffins.

For the Muffins

Stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients with a spoon. Stir gently, just until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips. Fill greased muffin pan with the batter and bake at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes. Makes 12 muffins.

For Chocolate Ganache
Bring whipping cream to boil over medium heat. Pour over chocolate chips in heat proof bowl. Stir until chocolate is smooth. Cool on counter or in fridge until desired thickness is reached.
