Key Ingredients
Complete list of ingredients and amounts can be found in the recipe card below.
Ricotta Cheese: This tangy Italian cheese is found in both sweet and savory dishes. You will recognize the fine texture of ricotta in homemade cannoli, and it has the same effect in this dessert dip. Use whole milk ricotta for best results. Mascarpone Cheese: Another Italian cheese, most commonly enjoyed in Tiramisu, mascarpone is similar to cream cheese, but with more flavor and a bit of sweetness. Powdered Sugar and Vanilla Extract: These two give your Cannoli dip the perfect level of sweetness and the warm flavor you’d expect from a dessert dip. Mini Chocolate Chips: The best cannoli are the ones dipped in chocolate chips, and so we must add them to cannoli dip as well!
How to Make Cannoli Dip
Cannoli dip can be stored in the refrigerator for 2-4 days before serving, or as leftovers.
What to Serve With Cannoli Dip
The easiest way to dip into sweet cannoli dip is with broken-up waffle cones or sturdy pizzelle cookies. You can also try serving this dip with any lightly flavored cookie such as Nilla Wafers, graham crackers, or even animal crackers! Cannoli dip is delicious on strawberries or apple slices if you want to be a bit healthier. Add a salty dipper like pretzel thins if you like as well!
