Eggplant wash, peel and cut into slices not thicker than 0.5 cm is better to take long eggplants with the minimum number of seeds (my choice was bought, what was in the store). Yes, even chose the best of the worst (chose 1 kg 200 g). In a saucepan prepare the syrup, heat the water, dissolve in it the sugar, add the cinnamon and proverjaem it alternately the eggplant slices for 3-5 minutes.

Prepare the filling. Ricotta is triturated with eggs and sugar. Add the zest, nuts and salt. Instead of ricotta I used cottage cheese because the ricotta is already very expensive costs. Instead of 2 eggs I only used the yolks (I thought the filling watery). For the chocolate sauce heat the milk and drop the pieces of chocolate. Stir in a water bath until thick for a few minutes.

Take the separable form (I 27 cm) grease with butter and sprinkle with sugar. Spread ribbons of eggplant overlap.

Next, spread the cottage cheese filling. On top of the chocolate sauce. Repeat the layers again.

The top of the dessert, cover with a layer of eggplant and sprinkle with a little sugar. Put in the oven for 35-40 minutes at 180 deg.
