Description

This Chocolate Chip Cannoli Pie is a creamy, no-bake dessert that combines the classic flavors of cannoli with a convenient graham cracker crust. Filled with a smooth mixture of ricotta and mascarpone cheeses, sweetened with powdered sugar, and studded with mini chocolate chips, this pie is lightened with whipped cream and chilled to perfection. It’s an easy-to-make, crowd-pleasing dessert ideal for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 1 ½ cups ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese
  • ¾ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips
  • ½ cup heavy cream, whipped

Crust

  • 1 pre-made graham cracker crust (9-inch)

Optional Toppings

  • Chopped pistachios
  • Extra chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cheese Mixture: In a large bowl, beat together the ricotta cheese, mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring all the ingredients are well combined for a rich filling.
  2. Add Mini Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips to distribute them evenly without breaking them, adding delightful bursts of chocolate throughout the filling.
  3. Incorporate Whipped Cream: Carefully fold in the whipped heavy cream to lighten the filling, creating a fluffy and airy texture that balances the richness of the cheeses.
  4. Fill the Crust: Pour the prepared filling into the pre-made graham cracker crust, using a spatula to smooth the top evenly, setting the foundation for the pie’s classic texture.
  5. Chill the Pie: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the filling to set firmly and the flavors to meld beautifully.
  6. Add Toppings Before Serving: Just before serving, sprinkle chopped pistachios or extra chocolate chips on top if desired for added texture and decorative appeal.
  7. Serve: Slice the pie into 8 servings and serve chilled for a refreshing, creamy dessert experience.

Notes

  • This pie requires several hours of chilling, so plan ahead.
  • For a nut-free option, omit the pistachios topping.
  • Use full-fat ricotta and mascarpone for the best creamy texture.
  • Can be made a day in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator.
  • Ensure the heavy cream is whipped to stiff peaks for proper lightening of the filling.
