Begin by ensuring your cream cheese is at room temperature. This will make it easier to mix and create a smooth texture. Place the cream cheese in your mixing bowl.
Next, add the drained ricotta cheese to the bowl with the cream cheese. It’s essential to drain the ricotta properly, as excess moisture can make the dip too runny.
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the cream cheese and ricotta together until they are well combined and smooth. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the mixture. Continue mixing until everything is well blended and the mixture is fluffy.
Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips using a spatula, being careful not to overmix. You want to maintain the light and airy texture of the dip.
Transfer the Cannoli Cream Dip to a serving bowl and sprinkle additional mini chocolate chips on top for garnish. Serve alongside Walkers Shortbread Cookies or your favorite dippers. Enjoy this delightful treat with friends and family!
