Description

This Fresh Blueberry Cannoli Dip is a luscious, creamy dessert perfect for gatherings or a sweet treat at home. Made with whole milk ricotta cheese, sweetened with confectioner’s sugar, and bursting with fresh blueberries and blueberry pie filling, it’s blended to a smooth consistency and enhanced with vanilla, cinnamon, and lemon zest. Served chilled and complemented beautifully by mini chocolate chips, this dip pairs wonderfully with cannoli pieces, pita chips, or graham crackers for a delightful and easy-to-make dessert experience.

Ingredients

Scale

Dip Ingredients

  • 2 cups whole milk ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup confectioner’s sugar
  • ¼ cup blueberry pie filling
  • ½ cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Combine Base Ingredients: In a food processor or blender, add the whole milk ricotta cheese, confectioner’s sugar, blueberry pie filling, and vanilla extract. This combination forms the creamy base of your dip.
  2. Blend to Smooth: Blend the mixture on low to medium speed for 1 to 2 minutes until it becomes silky smooth. Check after 1 minute to assess texture; if still not smooth, blend for an additional minute.
  3. Transfer to Bowl: Scrape the blended filling into a mixing bowl to prepare for adding the remaining ingredients.
  4. Add Freshness and Flavor: Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, mini chocolate chips, and lemon zest. The cinnamon can be added at this stage if you prefer a spiced touch.
  5. Chill the Dip: Cover and refrigerate the dip for at least 4 to 8 hours. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld and the dip to firm up to the perfect texture.
  6. Serve: Serve the dip chilled, paired with broken cannoli pieces, Kruschicki, cinnamon sugar pita chips, graham crackers, or a variety of baked chips for dipping.

Notes

  • For a smoother texture, use whole milk ricotta cheese and ensure thorough blending.
  • The cinnamon is optional but adds a nice warm spice that complements the blueberries.
  • You can substitute blueberry pie filling with fresh blueberries if you prefer, but the filling adds sweetness and a saucier texture.
  • Chilling time is important to let the flavors develop and to achieve the ideal consistency.
  • Store any leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Pairing options include broken cannoli shells for an authentic twist or various crunchy chips for texture contrast.
