Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar (adjustable to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
  • Pinch of cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine the Cheeses: In a mixing bowl, blend the ricotta and mascarpone cheeses until smooth and creamy, using a hand mixer or whisk to eliminate lumps for that perfect, velvety texture.
  2. Sweeten and Flavor: Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cheese mixture, stirring gently but thoroughly to combine all the flavors evenly without deflating the creaminess.
  3. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Carefully fold mini chocolate chips into the dip, ensuring even distribution without breaking the chips or overmixing the dip.
  4. Chill Before Serving: Place the dip in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the dip to thicken slightly, enhancing its texture and taste.

Notes

  • Use high-quality ricotta for a smoother, creamier texture.
  • Do not overmix; stir just until combined to keep the dip light and fluffy.
  • Chill thoroughly before serving to improve flavor and consistency.
  • Add mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts last to prevent melting.
  • Serve fresh within 2–3 days for optimal taste and texture.
