Cannoli Dip Recipe With Mascarpone Cheese
Creamy cannoli filling turned into a scrumptious dip that tastes great with cookies, graham crackers and cone pieces.
Equipment
- mixing bowl
- hand mixer
- spatula
Ingredients
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese or cream cheese
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- If there is excess liquid in the ricotta or in the mascarpone, place them in a fine mesh sieve over a bowl and drain for at least 30 minutes.
- In a bowl, use a hand mixer to beat together ricotta and mascarpone until smooth and creamy.
- Slowly beat in powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
- Fold in chocolate chips.
- Serve with waffle cone pieces, chocolate chip cookies, graham crackers, etc.
Notes
- Tip: Use top quality ricotta cheese for this recipe. We recommend very fine-grained, whole milk ricotta to get a smooth and creamy texture.
- Tip: Make sure ricotta and mascarpone cheese do not contain any excess liquid, otherwise your sweet dip might become runny.
- Tip: Use a stand mixer or electric hand mixer to cream together the base for this dip. That way the dip will get a lot fluffier.
