👉🏻Ingredients list⚠️

Cannoli Dip is a delightful treat that captures the essence of the traditional Italian Cannoli dessert in a dippable form. It retains the classic elements of Cannoli—ricotta cheese, powdered sugar, and chocolate—while eliminating the hassle of making Cannoli shells. This allows you to enjoy the unique flavor of the dessert more conveniently. Whether paired with cookies, fruits, or homemade Cannoli chips, Cannoli Dip offers rich layers of taste and a sweet culinary delight.
👉🏻✨DIRECTIONS:
In a mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
In another mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the ricotta mixture until fully incorporated.
Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Pour the Cannoli Dip into a serving dish, sprinkle with pistachio nuts (if using), and garnish with additional chocolate chips.
Serve with cookies, fruits, or homemade Cannoli chips.
👉🏻✨TIPS
Adjust the amount of powdered sugar to taste for the desired sweetness level.
If heavy cream is not available, you can use whipping cream, but the texture may be slightly less rich.
Refrigerate the ricotta cheese for a while before making the dip to thicken it and make it easier to mix.
👉🏻✨BENEFITS
Cannoli Dip is perfect for family gatherings, friend parties, afternoon tea, or late-night snacks. Its rich taste and unique Italian flavor can quickly elevate the atmosphere of the gathering and bring a delightful culinary experience to guests.
👉🏻✨NUTRITIONAL ASPECTS:
Cannoli Dip is rich in high-quality protein and calcium from ricotta cheese and heavy cream. Additionally, the cocoa butter and antioxidants in the chocolate chips, as well as the unsaturated fatty acids and fiber in the pistachio nuts (if used), add extra nutritional benefits to this dessert. However, due to the use of powdered sugar and cream, Cannoli Dip is high in calories and sugar, so it should be consumed in moderation.
