Servings: 8
Calories: 350kcal
Ingredients
- 8 ounces whole milk ricotta cheese drained and dried*
- 8 ounces mascarpone cheese
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/3 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp lime zest, more for garnish
- 1/2 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 8 waffle cones broken into large chip-like pieces
- 1 white chocolate bar
- 6 graham crackers
Instructions
- Using a hand mixer and a large bowl or a stand mixer, beat the mascarpone, ricotta, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and lime zest until fully combined and fluffy (about 2 minutes). Slowly mix in the powdered sugar until fully combined, then fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula.
- To make the chocolate covered waffle cone chips, crush the graham crackers in a plastic baggie until they become a fine dust (you can also use a food processor for this). Break the chocolate bar into pieces and place it in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave it for 1 minute, checking it after 30 seconds to stir. Dip the cones in the melted chocolate, then sprinkle the crushed graham crackers over top and place them on parchment paper to dry.
- Garnish the dip with more chocolate chips and some lime zest and serve!
Notes
*To achieve a thick cannoli dip, make sure you drain the ricotta really well. Drain it in a fine mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth in the refrigerator, uncovered overnight. In the morning, wring it in the cheesecloth to push any more moisture out. Roll the dry ricotta on a few paper towels.
