Ingredients
- 16 oz Whole milk ricotta cheese
- 8 oz Mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Mini chocolate chips
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 15 sheets Graham crackers
- 1 cup Pistachios, chopped
- 2 tbsp Powdered sugar (for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Use a hand mixer or whisk to beat the mixture until smooth and creamy.
Step 2
Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips and set aside.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
Step 4
Carefully fold the whipped cream into the ricotta mixture until fully incorporated. Set this filling aside.
Step 5
In a rectangular 9x13-inch baking dish, lay down a single layer of graham cracker sheets to cover the bottom.
Step 6
Spread a thin, even layer of the cannoli filling over the graham crackers, using about 1/3 of the mixture.
Step 7
Repeat this process with two more layers of graham crackers and filling, ending with the cannoli filling on top.
Step 8
Sprinkle the chopped pistachios evenly over the top layer of filling.
Step 9
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight, to allow the cake to set and the graham crackers to soften.
Step 10
Before serving, dust the top with additional powdered sugar for garnish.
