Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups whole milk ricotta cheese
- 1 cups mascarpone cheese
- 0.75 cups powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cups mini chocolate chips
- 1 cups heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, for garnish
- 0.25 cups additional mini chocolate chips, for garnish
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined and the texture resembles wet sand.
Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until golden and set. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Beat with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream using a hand mixer or stand mixer until it forms stiff peaks.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the ricotta mixture until fully incorporated, taking care not to deflate the cream.
Spoon the filling into the cooled crust and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
Before serving, dust the top of the pie with powdered sugar and sprinkle with additional mini chocolate chips for garnish.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your creamy and decadent Cannoli Pie!
