Ingredients
Dip Filling
- 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
- 4 oz cream cheese
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup confectioner’s sugar
- ⅔ cup mini chocolate chips
Dippers
- 6 large waffle cones, broken into pieces
Instructions
- Combine Dairy Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the whole milk ricotta cheese, cream cheese, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Add Sweetener: Stir in the confectioner’s sugar gradually until the dip reaches a smooth and creamy consistency with no lumps.
- Incorporate Chocolate Chips: Fold in the mini chocolate chips evenly throughout the dip, ensuring every scoop is packed with chocolate.
- Chill the Dip: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the dip to firm up slightly for better scooping.
- Serve with Waffle Cones: Serve the chilled cannoli dip with broken pieces of large waffle cones, perfect for dipping and enjoying immediately.
Notes
- Use whole milk ricotta for the creamiest texture; part-skim will be less rich.
- If you prefer, substitute waffle cones with graham crackers or pretzels for dipping.
- For a stronger vanilla flavor, add an extra ¼ teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Store any leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Let the cream cheese soften to room temperature before mixing to ensure easy blending.
