Ingredients

For the Dip

1 (15-ounce) container ricotta cheese, drained
8 ounces mascarpone cheese (can substitute cream cheese)
1½ cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon orange or lemon zest (optional)
¾ cup mini semisweet chocolate chips

For Dipping

waffle cone pieces, strawberries, Nilla wafers, pizzelle cookies, butter waffle cookies, and Oreos

Instructions

Beat ricotta and mascarpone cheese until creamy and smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
Stir in ¾ cup mini chocolate chips and the ground cinnamon. Sprinkle with reserved chocolate chips. Refrigerate 1 hour before serving, although technically you could enjoy this right away.

Notes

Storage: Cover your plain cannoli dip in plastic wrap or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, plain. Give it a good stir and add any toppings like chocolate chips just as you are about to serve it. Do not freeze.
Mix-ins: Orange zest, alternative extracts, raspberry coulis, get creative!
