Ingredients

Scale

Essential Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole-milk ricotta cheese, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese, at room temperature
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
  • Pinch of ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by bringing the ricotta and mascarpone cheeses to room temperature to ensure a smooth, creamy dip with no lumps.
  2. Combine and Sweeten: In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta, mascarpone, and powdered sugar. Whisk or beat together using a hand mixer until completely smooth and fluffy.
  3. Add Flavorings: Stir in the vanilla extract and cinnamon (if using) gently to incorporate the warmth and flavor without deflating the mixture.
  4. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips. This adds small bursts of rich chocolate flavor and a lovely texture contrast to your dip.
  5. Chill and Serve: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld and the dip firm up slightly, making it perfect for dipping.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cheeses for the creamiest texture; avoid light or fat-free versions.
  • Sift powdered sugar before adding to ensure a lump-free sweetness.
  • Use room temperature ingredients to help the cheeses blend smoothly and evenly.
  • Chill the dip before serving to enhance flavor and firmness.
  • Add chocolate chips just before serving if storing the dip to maintain the best texture.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; stir well before serving.
  • Do not freeze the dip to avoid grainy or watery texture.
  • This dip is best enjoyed chilled and does not require reheating.
