Ingredients
- 26oz / 750g fresh ricotta cheese - I’ve used whole milk sheep's ricotta
- 1 ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ¾ cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 orange zested
Garnish (Optional)
- Chocolate chips and crushed pistachios
Instructions
- Drain the ricotta cheese to remove the excess liquid. I use the method of portioning the ricotta into smaller pieces and placing in between paper towels with a plate on top for 10 minutes
- Add the drained ricotta to a large mixing bowl and whisk using a stand mixer or hand mixer for a couple of minutes to create a smooth texture
- Sift the powdered sugar and add to the ricotta along with orange zest and vanilla. Whisk again to combine
- Stir the mixture using a spatula to check that it has a soft creamy texture. Add the mini chocolate chips and fold them through using the spatula and its ready! Serve your delicious creamy cannoli dip with your favorite dippers such as cookies, biscotti or fruit and enjoy!
