Cannoli Dip

Pin RecipePrint Recipe
Prep Time 25 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes
Makes 8 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole milk ricotta well drained
  • 8 oz mascarpone softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips plus extra for topping
  • graham crackers and strawberries for serving

Instructions

  • Line a fine sieve with a paper towel, add the ricotta, and let it drain over a bowl for 20 minutes to remove excess liquid; skip this and the dip will turn watery.
  • Beat the drained ricotta and mascarpone together until silky with no grainy texture left, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the powdered sugar and cinnamon; beat until pale and fluffy.
  • Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Fold in the mini chocolate chips by hand.
  • Cover and chill for 15 minutes.
  • Spoon into a serving bowl, scatter extra chocolate chips on top, and serve with graham crackers and strawberries.

Good to Know

Swap mascarpone for a second block of cream cheese in a pinch; the flavor is less rich but the texture still holds.
