Cannoli Dip With Homemade Wonton Chips Recipes

CANNOLI DIP

Steps:

• Combine ricotta cheese and mascarpone cheese together in a medium mixing bowl and using a hand mixer, mix on medium high speed for several minutes or until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
• Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract and beat until combined and smooth. (Start on low speed to avoid a powdered sugar shower...)
• Fold in all but two tablespoons of the mini chocolate chips. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. The dip is best after 1 hour but can be served in as little as 15 minutes if need be.
• Just before serving, sprinkle on reserved chocolate chips and dust with powdered sugar if desired. Serve with desired dippers and enjoy!

CANNOLI DIP WITH HOMEMADE WONTON CHIPS

Steps:

• Fill a Dutch oven ⅓ full of oil, and heat the oil to 350°F. Once the oil is hot, carefully separate the wonton wrappers and fry them, in a single layer, about 1 minute (flipping them 2-3 times), or until golden brown.
• Transfer the wonton chips, with a slotted spoon, tongs or Asian spider skimmer, to a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet and sprinkle with kosher salt, if desired.
• Repeat until all wonton wrappers are fried. Once completely cooled, store in an airtight container until ready to serve.
• If using BelGioioso Whole-Milk or a dry(ish) ricotta it isn't necessary to strain the ricotta. If using fresh ricotta or ricotta that has extra liquid (whey), it is important to strain it from the ricotta. To do this, place a paper towel over the ricotta still in the container. Turn the ricotta and container upside down and set it in a wire mesh sieve for 30 minutes. Discard the excess whey.
• Pour the strained ricotta, sugar, orange zest, and vanilla in a medium bowl. Mix, using a hand mixer, on medium-high speed for 2 minutes. The mixture should be a little fluffier than at first.
• Gently fold in the candied ginger and chocolate chips.
• Refrigerate in an airtight container at least 2 hours before serving.
• Serve, chilled, with fresh fruit or wonton chips, or pipe into cannoli shells.

DECONSTRUCTED CANNOLI CHIPS AND DIP

Steps:

• Fill a Dutch oven one-third full with oil and heat to 350 degrees F.
• Fry the wontons in a single layer, not overcrowding the pot. Flip the wontons once or twice until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the wontons with tongs or a slotted spoon and drain on a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet. Repeat until all the wontons are fried.
• Place the ricotta, sugar and liqueur in a large bowl and stir until well combined. Whip the cream in a separate bowl with a handheld mixer until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream and 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips into the ricotta mixture.
• Transfer the ricotta-cream mixture to a medium dip bowl or 8-by-8-inch baking dish and spread evenly. Starting from the left side of bowl, make a row, from top to bottom, of the pistachios, followed by a row of the cherries, then the remaining 1/2 cup chocolate chips. Freshly grate orange zest over the top and plate the wonton chips on the side. Dust the chips with confectioners' sugar and serve.
