Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch crust Graham cracker crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 16 ounces Ricotta cheese
- 8 ounces Mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cups Mini chocolate chips
- 0.5 cups Heavy whipping cream
- 0.25 cups Optional: Chopped pistachios
- 2 tablespoons Optional: Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, mascarpone cheese, and powdered sugar. Mix well using a hand mixer or a sturdy spatula until smooth and creamy.
Add the vanilla extract and ground cinnamon to the mixture. Stir until evenly incorporated.
In a separate bowl, use a hand mixer or whisk to whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the ricotta mixture until fully combined, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
Fold in half of the mini chocolate chips, reserving the remaining half for topping.
Transfer the creamy cannoli filling into the graham cracker crust, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Sprinkle the reserved mini chocolate chips over the top of the pie. If desired, sprinkle with chopped pistachios for extra flavor and texture.
Cover the pie and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set. Overnight refrigeration is ideal for best results.
Before serving, dust the top of the pie with powdered sugar if desired for a classic cannoli look.
Slice the pie and serve chilled. Enjoy your Lazy Man Cannoli Pie with friends and family!
