Ingredients
  

For the Dip:
  • 1.5 cups ricotta cheese providing creaminess
  • 8 ounces mascarpone cheese or cream cheese for richness
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract adds depth of flavor
  • 1.5 cups powdered sugar adjust according to taste
  • 1/16 teaspoon salt enhances flavors
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips for texture and sweetness

Equipment

  • Electric mixer
  • Spatula
  • Serving dish

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. Step 1: In a mixing bowl, add the ricotta cheese and mascarpone (or cream cheese). Beat them together using an electric mixer until completely smooth and creamy.
  2. Step 2: Gradually add the powdered sugar to the cheese mixture, mixing on low speed until it’s well incorporated.
  3. Step 3: Pour in the vanilla extract and sprinkle in the salt. Mix until everything is combined, and the dip is fluffy.
  4. Step 4: Using a spatula, gently fold in the mini chocolate chips, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  5. Step 5: Transfer the dip to a serving dish and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
  • For a lower-fat option, substitute cottage cheese for ricotta.
  • Chilling enhances flavors, so don’t skip this step!
