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!
