Tasty Thursday - Cannoli Dip

TGIF people!!!  That's right.  Today is my Friday and it couldn't come any sooner.  Today the store went into liquidation and it was bad end to a even worse week.  I'm so tired of everyone asking the same questions, being in general, nosy, and complaining that they couldn't use their coupon that should have started today.  I've always said I would stay until the end, sometime in June.  But after today and this week, I am not sure anymore.  

Last week I had to make a sweet snack, so I tried a recipe that I've been want to make for quite a while.  Cannoli Dip.  I am Italian and love cannolis.  They are an acquired taste.  They weren't my favorite while growing up, but now I LOVE them.  

Back in 2012, my family and me went to Italy on vacation.  My goal was to taste just one to see if the ones in Milwaukee are made the same in Italy.  They were!  Ok, the one in Italy probably tasted just a tiny bit better, but only because it was in Italy.  

Cannoli Dip

1.5 pounds of whole milk ricotta
1/2  cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips, plus 1 tablespoon for garnish
1/4 cup whole milk
1box of waffle cones, broken into pieces

In a medium bowl, mix the ricotta and powdered sugar.

Slowly add the milk until smooth (you may not need all of the milk).

Mix in the 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips.

Spoon the Cannoli Dip into a serving bowl.  Top with 1 tablespoon of mini chocolate chips.

Break up the Waffle cones and place them into a separate serving bowl.

I actually couldn't believe how easy this was to make.  Basically stir together and done.  The only change I made was by adding 1-2 teaspoons vanilla.  Made a huge difference.  I served it with the waffle cones, like suggested, but also put out Nilla Wafers for another option.

Would totally make this recipe again.

Until next time...Stampin' Always,
