Ingredients
  

For the Dip
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese creamy base that gives that classic cannoli flavor
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt adds protein and a tangy kick; try substituting with low-fat yogurt for fewer calories
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar provides sweetness; can use honey for a natural alternative
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract infuses warmth and richness; use pure vanilla for the best taste
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon adds a delightful spice
For the Mix-ins
  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips the perfect touch of sweetness; dark chocolate chips can offer a healthier option
  • ¼ cup chopped nuts optional; walnuts or almonds work wonderfully

Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • Hand mixer or whisk
  • spatula
