Cannoli Dip Recipe
Cannolis are a well loved dessert but sometimes they just are not practical. Maybe it is because of a large group or people do not want a large cannoli only a small bit. In those cases, this dip is the ideal choice. You get all the flavors without having to have a set size for the cannoli or the need to make a large amount.
Ingredients
- Whole milk ricotta– You will want a new container and not a previously opened one.
- Cream cheese – Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature
- Powdered sugar – Powdered sugar is used instead of white sugar
- Vanilla– Always use pure vanilla for the best taste
- Mini chocolate chips- I like mini chocolate chips instead of full size
- Chocolate chip cookies– These are for dipping
- Waffle cones– The waffle cones are used as garnish
How to Make Cannoli Dip
Add the ricotta cheese, cream cheese, and powdered sugar to a bowl and mix it together on high speed until it is smooth. This takes about 3 to 5 minutes.
Add the vanilla and then whip again.
Taste the tip and see if it is sweet enough. If it is not, add more sugar.
Fold the chocolate chips and save some for the top of the dip.
Garnish with a waffle cone in the center and use waffle cone pieces as a dipper.
Store it in the refrigerator.
Can This Dip Be Frozen?
Yes! This is a great way to have cannoli dip whenever you want it. Store the this dip in an air tight container. It will stay good for up to 3 months.
What Should I Use to Dip Into This Dip?
You can use just about anything in this dip. I like to use graham crackers, waffle cones or even cookies. Of course, you can always use premade cannoli shells.
