If you love the sweet and creamy filling of a cannoli but do not want the hassle of filling individual shells, this dip is for you. It brings all those classic Italian flavors together in one bowl, making it perfect for your next gathering or a simple weekend treat.

My favorite way to serve this is with some crunchy waffle cookies or broken pieces of cannoli shells for that authentic texture. It is a light and satisfying dessert that always disappears quickly whenever I bring it to a party.

Ingredients

  • 15 ounces ricotta cheese, drained
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
  • Broken cannoli shells or waffle cookies for serving

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place the drained ricotta cheese into a large mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon to the ricotta.

  3. 3

    Use a hand mixer or a whisk to beat the mixture until it is smooth and creamy.

  4. 4

    Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips using a spatula.

  5. 5

    Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least thirty minutes before serving.

  6. 6

    Serve cold with your choice of cookies or crunchy shell pieces for dipping.

💡 Tips

Make sure to drain the ricotta well through a fine mesh sieve for at least an hour so the dip does not get watery. You can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days.
