Ingredients for Cannoli Dip
Cream Cheese – Use a block of full fat cream cheese or, if you have it, try mascarpone cheese. Ricotta Cheese – Ricotta cheese is used in cannoli filling and adds flavor to this dip too. Be sure to drain it well or the dip will be runny. Flavor – Vanilla extract is the traditional choice, but try almond extract or amaretto flavoring, orange zest, finely diced strawberries, lemon zest, or coconut! Chocolate Chips – Mini chocolate chips are always welcome in traditional cannolis, and this dip is no different! Don’t forget to sprinkle some on top for a pretty garnish!
