Prepare the pasta frolla using flour, butter, sugar, eggs, cocoa, baking powder, and ground coffee.

Mix the softened butter with sugar in a bowl.

Add eggs to the butter and sugar mixture and mix well.

Incorporate the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, cocoa, and ground coffee into the mixture.

Let the pasta frolla rest after mixing until it is pliable.

Prepare the filling by mixing ricotta, softened butter, sugar, and espresso in a separate bowl until well combined.

Add chocolate chips to the ricotta mixture last.

Roll out the rested pasta frolla and place it into a tart pan with low edges.

Pour the ricotta filling into the prepared pasta frolla shell.

Bake the tart in the oven at 170°C for 35-40 minutes.

Prepare additional cookies using leftover pasta frolla, baking them for 10-12 minutes.

Allow the tart to cool before removing it from the pan to prevent the filling from spilling out.

Dust the tart with powdered sugar or cocoa for decoration before serving.
