Cannoli dip is a creamy dessert dip made from fluffy ricotta mascarpone filling and chocolate chips. It's the best part of the cannoli, ready in 15 minutes!
Line a fine mesh strainer with cheese cloth or paper towel. Add the ricotta cheese and spread into an even layer. Ideally you let it set for 8 hours or overnight in a bowl to drain. Shortcut you can press down and stir the mixture to get as much liquid as possible out. The more you get out, the thicker your dip.
To make the dip mix together the ricotta cheese and mascarpone cheese until smooth. Add in the powdered sugar and vanilla and mix until well combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a few to sprinkle on top.
Notes
Serve with graham crackers, Pizzelle cookies, waffle cones, fruit, etc. My store had “Cannoli Chips” in the bakery section that I used as well.
