Ingredients
- 1 cup Ricotta cheese
- 1 cup Mascarpone cheese
- 0.75 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Mini chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 2 cups Fresh strawberries, halved
- 1 cup Mini cannoli shells or graham crackers (optional for dipping)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese and mascarpone cheese. Mix thoroughly using a hand mixer or a wooden spoon until smooth and creamy.
Gradually sift in the powdered sugar, mixing as you go to avoid lumps, until the mixture is sweetened and smooth.
Stir in the vanilla extract and orange zest, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips gently with a spatula to avoid breaking them.
Transfer the dip into a serving bowl and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Prepare the strawberries by washing them and slicing them in halves. Arrange them on a platter around the dip.
Serve the Cannoli Cream Dip chilled with fresh strawberries and optional mini cannoli shells or graham crackers for dipping.
