Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 16 ounces Ricotta cheese, whole milk
- 8 ounces Mascarpone cheese
- 0.75 cups Powdered sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cups Mini chocolate chips
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 0.25 cups Pistachios, chopped (optional, for topping)
- 2 tablespoons Extra mini chocolate chips (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the graham cracker mixture evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust. Use the bottom of a measuring cup to press it down firmly.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the ricotta mixture until fully combined.
Spoon the filling into the cooled crust, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle chopped pistachios and extra mini chocolate chips on top, if desired.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is firm and set.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your delicious Easy Cannoli Cheesecake Pie!
