Description

Chocolate Chip Cannoli Pie is a no-bake, creamy dessert that combines the smoothness of ricotta and mascarpone cheeses with sweet powdered sugar and mini chocolate chips, all nestled in a crunchy graham cracker crust. Perfectly chilled for a few hours, this pie offers a delightful cannoli-inspired flavor in a convenient pie form, topped optionally with chopped pistachios or extra chocolate chips for added texture and taste.

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)

Toppings (Optional)

  • Chopped pistachios
  • Extra chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, beat together the ricotta cheese, mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
  2. Incorporate chocolate chips: Gently fold the mini chocolate chips into the creamy mixture, distributing them evenly without breaking them up.
  3. Lighten the filling: Carefully fold in the whipped heavy cream to the filling to add lightness and a fluffy texture.
  4. Assemble the pie: Pour the prepared filling into the pre-made 9-inch graham cracker crust and use a spatula to smooth the top evenly.
  5. Chill to set: Place the pie in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight, allowing the filling to firm up.
  6. Add toppings: Before serving, sprinkle the top with optional chopped pistachios or extra mini chocolate chips for added crunch and flavor.
  7. Serve: Slice the pie and serve it chilled for the best texture and taste experience.

Notes

  • This is a no-bake recipe, making it perfect for warm weather or quick dessert preparation.
  • You can substitute the pre-made graham cracker crust with a homemade version if preferred.
  • For a nut-free version, omit the pistachios topping.
  • Use full-fat cheeses and heavy cream for the creamiest texture.
  • Make sure to whip the cream properly for folding to achieve the right lightness without deflating the mixture.
  • Refrigerating overnight improves the flavors and texture significantly.
