Directions:
In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese and powdered sugar
until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Stir in ricotta cheese until well
blended, then fold in chocolate chips and chopped cherries. Chill
mixture overnight until firm, so it achieves the proper spreading
consistency. The next day, carefully cut the cake horizontally,
making three layers. Set bottom layer on serving plate. Spread
chilled mixture on cake bottom, then place the next cake layer on and
repeat until top of cake is covered but sides are not. Spread cool
whip on sides of cake up to meet filling on top of cake. Garnish by
placing cherry halves around cake edge.
