Cannoli Dip

Welcome 2017! It’s crazy how fast time seems to go by. I bet you thought I would start the first blog of the new year with a calorie friendly, weight watching dish didn’t you? Nope! Sorry, not sorry!
I have seen this cannoli dip floating around Pinterest for a while now but really did not think my family would like it very much as it does have ricotta cheese in it. Well to my surprise while we were at a neighbor’s Christmas party she served this as one of her many dessert options and I could not keep Jim away from that dip! This dessert is sweet, but not overly sweet. I served this dip with original and chocolate graham dippers as well as sugar cones that I broke up into pieces. This dip won’t just make an appearance on our Christmas celebrations, but many times through the year!

INGREDIENTS
1 cup of ricotta cheese
8 ounces of cream cheese, room temperature
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2/3 cup mini chocolate chips

TO DIP
Sugar cones broken into bite size pieces
Original and chocolate graham dippers

DIRECTIONS
Use a stand mixer or hand mixer. In a large bowl mix together ricotta, cream cheese and powdered sugar on medium high speed until well blended and smooth, about 3-5 minutes. Add vanilla and mix well again. Taste the dip and if you want it slightly sweeter you can add a little more powdered sugar at this time, mixing well. Fold in mini chocolate chips. Serve with dippers.

Enjoy!
