Cannoli Dip With Homemade Wonton Chips Recipes

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.

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!

QUICKNOLI DIP - QUICK CANNOLI DIP

Steps:

• Mix the ricotta, confectioners' sugar and liqueur in a bowl. Fold in the chocolate chips. Serve with strawberries and wonton triangles, pita chips or cookies for dipping.

CANNOLI DIP

Steps:

• In a medium heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high, heat 2 inches oil to 350 degrees. While oil heats, working with one wrapper at a time, use a 1 3/4-inch fluted round cookie cutter to punch out individual cannoli chips. Working in batches of 10 to 12, fry chips, turning often with a spider or slotted spoon, until golden and bubbly, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet lined with paper towels to drain.
• Line another rimmed baking sheet with parchment. Melt 1 cup chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Dip one edge of each cannoli chip in melted chocolate, scraping bottom against side of bowl, and sprinkle with pistachios. Lay on parchment. Repeat with remaining cannoli chips. Refrigerate for at least 10 minutes and up to 1 day.
• While chips chill, stir together ricotta, mascarpone, sugar, lemon zest, vanilla, and salt. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips over dip and serve, alongside cannoli chips.
