Add the vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sea salt and beat until well combined.
Add the chocolate chips and fold in with a rubber spatula.
Chill 4 hours, or up to 24. Garnish with additional chocolate chips and serve with broken waffle cones for dipping.

Notes
Storage: in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Use additive-free ricotta: many commercial brands contain guar guam, which can interfere with the consistency of whipped ricotta. The Galbani brand is an economical choice with just 3 ingredients (milk, vinegar, and salt). For an organic choice, we like Natural by Nature.
Use fresh ricotta: the longer ricotta sits, the more watery it gets. If you find that your container of ricotta is on the thin side, strain it with cheesecloth.
