Pour the Jello into a deep bowl and pour the boiling water over it. Whisk until the crystals have all dissolved.
Add the ice cold water and whisk again. Let cool, then place in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Remove from the fridge, add the ricotta cheese, and use an electric whisk to mix the Jello and ricotta together until smooth and well blended.
Divide the mixture between two glasses or bowls, cover, and return to the fridge for at least an hour.
Just before serving, grate some dark chocolate over the top, if desired.
