2. COMBINE ricotta, confectioner’s sugar, and almond extract in a bowl and set aside.
3. COMBINE almonds and chocolate. Chop together in a food processor; do not chop too fine.
4. FOLD together cheese mix and chopped almond & chocolate and chill.
5. WHIP heavy cream until stiff. Fold into ricotta and chocolate mix half at a time.
6. SPOON into chilled crust and let sit overnight before serving.
Serve with chocolate sauce, if desired.
