Description

A delightful twist on the classic Italian dessert, this Cannoli Cream Dip features a rich, creamy texture infused with hints of vanilla and chocolate, perfect for parties or cozy nights.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup crushed pistachios (for garnish)
  • Optional: Biscotti or graham crackers for serving

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese and mascarpone cheese. Use a hand mixer to blend until smooth and creamy.
  2. Gradually add the powdered sugar to the cheese mixture, mixing well until fully incorporated. Taste and adjust the sweetness if necessary.
  3. Pour in the vanilla extract and mix until evenly distributed throughout the dip.
  4. Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly dispersed without over-mixing.
  5. Transfer the cannoli cream dip to a shallow serving dish. Use a spatula to create a smooth, glossy surface. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Notes
