Steps

1

Preheat oven to 350°. Line two 12-cup cupcake pans with cupcake liners
2

Prepare batter according to package instructions. Divide batter between cupcake liners and bake until a toothpick inserted into the middle of a cupcake comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
3

Let cupcakes cool completely. Meanwhile, make frosting: In a large bowl, beat together butter, cream cheese, and ricotta until fluffy. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt and beat until smooth and fluffy. Fold in mini chocolate chips.
4

Transfer the frosting to a large pastry bag (or resealable plastic bag) cut with a large tip. Using a teaspoon, scoop out the middle of each cupcake to create a small well. Pipe the frosting onto each cupcake, filling the wells
5

Using 50 percent power and working in 30-second increments, microwave chocolate chips until the chocolate has just melted. Let cool slightly. Spoon the melted chocolate on top of the frosting
6

Let chocolate set slightly then serve.
