Cannoli Cream Dip

This is a healthful twist to a much-loved Italian dessert. For a truly exquisite treat for your palate, look for freshly made ricotta.

Featured Fifty50 Low Glycemic Foods: Granulated Fructose, Sugar Free Orange Marmalade Spread, Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Bar.

Servings: 4 cups
Yields: 8 (1/2 cup each)

Ingredients

1-15 oz container part skim ricotta
1/3 cup FIFTY50 Low Glycemic Granulated Fructose
¼ cup nonfat milk
¼ cup FIFTY50 Sugar Free Orange Marmalade Spread
1 oz FIFTY50 Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Bar, finely chopped

Directions

  1. Add the first four ingredients (ricotta through orange marmalade spread) to a blender or Cuisinart. Process for 50 seconds or until very smooth.
  2. Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl. Gently fold in the chocolate.
  3. Pour into small custard cups or refrigerate in a covered container. Serve as a dip with freshly sliced apples, pears or biscotti.

Variations: Candied citron may also be added. Instead of dipping sliced fruit into the cannoli cream, ripe pears may be halved vertically and cored, placing a mound of the cream on top.
