Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups ricotta cheese
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips plus more for garnish
- Pistachios shelled and chopped, for garnish
Dipping Options
- Cannoli Shells broken into pieces
- Pizzelle cookies
- Mini stroopwaffles
- Ice cream cones broken into pieces
- Nilla wafers
Instructions
- In a large bowl, stir together the ricotta, powdered sugar, mascarpone cheese, and vanilla until well combined and smooth.
- Using a rubber spatula, fold in the mini chocolate chips.
- Transfer the dip into a bowl and top with additional chocolate chips and chopped pistachios. (see note) Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until ready to serve.
- Serve chilled with your favorite cookies for dipping.
Notes
- You can swap out the pistachios for slivered almonds or your favorite kind of nut.
- If you want some extra presentation points, dip the rim of the serving bowl into some melted chocolate and then into chopped pistachios.
- You don't have to chill this dip. It's ready to eat as soon as it's mixed, but I think the flavor gets better if you let it sit for a little bit.
