Cannoli Dip

Cultural Context

Originating from the Sicilian pastry of the same name, cannoli dip captures the essence of traditional Italian desserts in a fun, shareable format. This dip celebrates the rich, creamy filling typically found in cannoli, making it perfect for gatherings and parties. In modern times, this dessert has gained popularity beyond Italy, often appearing at potlucks and casual get-togethers, allowing everyone to enjoy the classic flavors of cannoli in a new way.

15 ounces whole milk ricotta cheese
8 ounces mascarpone cheese
¾ cup powdered sugar
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 Tablespoons heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ¼ cup mini chocolate chips
cannoli chips (for serving)

mascarpone cheese

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: cream cheese

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

powdered sugar

🥗Healthier: coconut sugar

💰Cheaper: granulated sugar

Coconut sugar has a lower glycemic index.

mini chocolate chips

🥗Healthier: dark chocolate chips

💰Cheaper: chocolate shavings

Dark chocolate chips offer a richer flavor.

graham crackers

🥗Healthier: almond flour crackers

💰Cheaper: digestive biscuits

Almond flour crackers provide a gluten-free option.

1

Combine all ingredients except the mini chocolate chips in a mixing bowl using a hand mixer or whisk. If using a hand mixer, use low speed and either way, do not overmix, or you will risk the mascarpone becoming grainy.

2

Fold in chocolate chips using a spatula (measure these with your heart, really). Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with additional chips and a sprinkle of cinnamon as desired. Serve with your favorite dippers, and enjoy!

3

If making ahead of time (or with leftovers), store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
