Equipment

  • Mixing Bowls
  • Hand Mixer
  • Measuring Cups
  • Measuring Spoons

Ingredients

  • 15 oz Ricotta Cheese Full Fat
  • 8 oz Mascarpone Cheese Full Fat
  • 1 ½ cups Powdered Sugar
  • 2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 2 cups Mini Chocolate Chips

Instructions

  • If your ricotta cheese is a little watery, place it in a fine mesh strainer and let it drain for about 30 minutes. This helps the dip stay creamy and thick.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ricotta and mascarpone cheeses. Use a hand mixer or a whisk to blend them until smooth and creamy. You can also use a hand mixer.
  • Add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Mix everything together until well combined.
  • Fold in the mini chocolate chips, making sure they’re evenly distributed throughout the dip.
  • Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together. Serve with graham crackers, waffle cones, and your favorite fruit.

Notes

  • You can make this dip up to 24 hours in advance.  Just keep it in an airtight container in the refrigerator and take it out when you are ready to enjoy it.
  • Make sure to use full fat cheese.  Low fat or fat free tend to have more liquid and can change the texture of the dip.
