Chocolate Chip Cannoli Dip

June 18, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 15 Comments

Hi Everyone,

One thing you may or may not know about me is I love to make dips.  I guess you can call me a dipper.  Condiments, dips and spreads are my favorite things.  I’m always looking for new ways to spruce up an old recipe, change up a favorite dish or find something new to dip my fruit, pretzels and the occasional cookie in.  I would share more dip recipes with you, but I figured I should give you a variety of recipes, since not everyone is as crazy for dips as me.  So today, I created a new dip with the left over Ricotta Cheese I had from my Skillet Meat Lasagna.

Chocolate Chip Cannoli Dip

This is my Chocolate Chip Cannoli Dip!  It’s sweet, creamy, chock full of chocolate chips and very closly tastes like chocolate chip cookie dough.  Yes please!   I am so loving this dip!  I kept sneaking little spoonfuls as I was making it, then I grab a strawberry or two to dunk into my dip.  Oh my gosh it’s so good!!

Chocolate Chip Cannoli Dip


But what I like about this dip besides the fabulous taste is that it’s pretty darn healthy, practically no fat and the only sugar in the dish is natural sugar from maple syrup and the mini chocolate chips.   You can feel good about giving it to your kids or keeping it for yourself.  One thing about blogging is trying new things and ricotta cheese is my new thing that I have tried this year.  Yes I have had cheese ravioli’s and lasagna, but honestly I never gave ricotta cheese a second thought until I made my Pistachio and Cherry Cannoli Cups.  After I had that dessert, I was sold on ricotta cheese.  Lucky for me I didn’t use it all in my lasagna, that I had left overs to make today’s recipe.  Yah!

Chocolate Chip Canolli Dip

The dip is a snap to make!  It’s made with of course ricotta cheese, greek yogurt, maple syrup, stevia, a pinch of salt and vanilla extract.  But this wouldn’t be chocolate chip cannoli dip with out the chocolate chips and I used two tablespoons of mini chips.  You have to love the mini chips, they are just so darn cute!!  I kind of have a thing for small things, like little spoons, mini cupcakes and tiny little finger foods.

Chocolate Chip Canolli Dip

One thing I have to tell you, if you get animal crackers, get a good name brand of crackers.  I bought the store brand and oh my gosh my cookies were horrible.  Ok, not horrible, but not the same.  When I bit into one, they were soft, almost like they were stale.  So sad!  So I didn’t eat my animal crackers with my dip, but at least I have a ton of strawberries!!!  I swear if I keep eating strawberries like I do, I’m going to turn into one!

Chocolate Chip Cannoli Dip

Time for me to make lunch and get going to bed!

Have a super fabulous day!

Toodles,

Jennifer

    I really like this recipe. It would make a great dessert with fruits like mango or plums or peaches, too. Your recipes are expanding my horizons and requiring me to think more about what I want to eat. 🙂

    I love the idea of a dip using ricotta! I’m one of those “weird” people who doesn’t like cream cheese, and so many dips–especially the sweet ones–contain cream cheese. I think that I would go through this pretty quickly–I’m a dipper too 🙂

    This stuff looks so good I would be able to finish the whole bowl by myself… I wouldn’t even dip anything, all I’d need is a spoon 😉

I’m still working in my dining room and I wanted to share my new reversible sign that I got from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s a beautiful 24x9 sign that I thought it would be perfect in my dining room. 
🌸
I love sitting around the table with friends and family and tell stories, laugh, play games and have a good time. I thought the side of the sign that says “Enjoy Every Moment” was perfect.

One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors. 
💕
I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which is okay by me. Yesterday I worked on my bedroom and it feels so good having a clean bedroom. It was a chore that I needed to get done.

My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.
🐾
The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals. 
🐾
I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.

I’m sharing with you my last photo of my peonies. I’m so sad that they didn’t last. I got about 6 days from them. I guess that’s means I need to go to Trader Joe’s and get more before peony season is over.

Do you have any summer vacation scheduled this year?

Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll be counting down to my next vacation, which will be the week of the 4th of July. I will tell you, it felt so nice not having any plans and doing work in the garden.
🌻
This weekend I finally made it to the Farmers Market and I picked up these amazing sunflowers. They are such a happy flower. 
🌻
When I got them, I couldn’t resist doing a flowers in the sink photo. I haven’t done one of these since Fall. Now I may have to go back to the Farmers Market next weekend because they had so many flowers and most were only $4.00 a bundle. 
🌻
Do you you like to go to the Farmers Market?

Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I pretty much spent the whole week working in my garden, so I apologize for all the flower photos. 
🌸
This is a view of my fenced in garden. The flowers on the left are zinnias, and next to them is beardtongue and in the background, butterfly bush.  In about a month or so, this background will pop with lots of orange from my Mexican sunflower and yellow from the black eyed susan. I just hope my black eyed susan’s make it. They are struggling. 
🌸
I have to say I have been enjoying working in the garden. It’s therapy to me. It just makes me feel good to sit back and see all your hard work start to bloom. I can’t wait to see what the garden looks like a month.
🌸
What do you like to do that you consider your therapy?
