In a medium mixing bowl, mix the ricotta cheese and cream cheese with a hand mixer on medium high until it’s smooth and creamy (about 3 minutes).
Add the vanilla and mix until incorporated.
Mix in the powdered sugar, starting the hand mixer on low and increasing the speed to medium until the powdered sugar is fully mixed in and the dip is light and fluffy.
Stir in ½ cup of the mini chocolate chips.
Top with the remaining chocolate chips.
Notes
Serve the chocolate chip cannoli dip with strawberries, graham crackers, cookies, nilla wafers, broken waffle cones, or other snacks.
For two to three days, the chocolate chip cannoli dip can be kept in the refrigerator. Before serving, it will need to be thoroughly recombined.
If you don't use full milk ricotta, the dip will be less creamy and thinner.
Sprinkles, different chips like butterscotch or caramel, and candy-coated chocolates are also acceptable additions.
