Cannoli Dip

Oh my-lanta!!!!!!!! I love me some canollis!!!! (Cue Italian music in the background!)

The problem I have is I'd be destitute if I indulged in every cannoli craving I had. It's that serious. But I needed a solution. Off to Google!!!

Now here's the problem. My family had no problem indulging in the many recipes we tried to get that perfect cannoli taste. A few pounds later (wink, wink), Im still trying to figure out why this is so hard. Why can't we get a great recipe? Why are the great cannoli makers of our history hiding their secrets of that yummy, creamy goodness? A little dramatic? I digress.

So off I was to channel my inner Monica Gellar-Bing (Friends fans, anyone?) and play with recipes. And here it is! I may still tweak it as we go (I promise to share those with you as I do!). But for now, I need to make an appointment with my gym.


Cannoli Dip
2 cups ricotta cheese
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese
2 cups confectioner's sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp almond extract
1 cup mini chocolate chips

1. Beat ricotta and cream cheeses in a bowl until smooth.
2. Add sugar and extracts. Continue to mix until the sugar is completely incorporated.
3. Fold the chips into the cheese mixture.
4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, at least 15 minutes.

Server with pizzelle cookies, waffle cones or graham crackers.

Until next time!
