What is a cannoli? Cannoli is an irresistible Italian dessert, usually made with a tube-shaped, crispy pastry shell and filled with a sweet ricotta cream. Sometimes the shell is dipped in chocolate, and it’s often dusted with powdered sugar. Yum! This dip is basically a deconstructed cannoli. The filling goes in a bowl instead of inside a pastry. And the crispy shell is broken up, and those pieces are the dippers.

Oh my. I’m drooling. I’ve never even had a real cannoli but I got really familiar with them during Jordan’s Annie phase…and I am dreaming about this dip!
I’m in love with cannolis. Whenever I’m in Boston, I make sure to pick up a box of these delicious pastries. I’m digging the dip though! This is perfect for a party or a much needed weekend of unwinding.
ooooh I love cannoli! (and no-it is not supposed to taste super ricotta-y but definitely also not too sweet. So it sounds like this dip is perfect!)
