Cannoli Dip is one of those desserts I discovered in my early thirties and am so grateful that I didn’t discover it sooner because it is WAY too delicious to resist. So delicious in fact that I even brought a bowl of the dip instead of a cake to a friends 30th birthday a couple years back at her request.
Quick project summary: To make cannoli dip, I typically use this super simple recipe. There are some more complex recipes out there that include marscapone and such but this simple ricotta/cream cheese/confectioners sugar blend works nicely for me. I make no modifications to the recipe. That said, for items to dip, I like to take waffle cones and break them up into smaller pieces as well as both original and chocolate graham crackers. You could totally add fruit to this but I figure if you’re going to go with such a sweet dessert, may as well go all in!
Things I loved about this project: It’s delicious. Easy to make but still not a very common dish people bring to potlucks. And, by adding the items to dip, you can arrange a really pretty plate, too.
What I would do differently: This dip is pretty legit so there’s not much I would do differently. That said, making this dip makes me want to try making homemade cannolis as well!
Things I also enjoyed while doing this project:
-Bringing this dip to an awesome winery near Annapolis (Great Frogs) for my friends birthday
-Sampling a variety of different graham crackers and ice cream cones to pair with it
