Cannoli Pie

Crust

  • In a bowl, add in the graham crackers, sugar, and butter. Stir until the butter has coated all of the graham cracker crumbs.
  • Pour the crust into a 9-inch pie plate. Firmly press the crumbs up the sides and into the bottom of the pie plate.
  • Place in the freezer or fridge to set up while preparing the filling.

Cannoli Filling

    • Make sure your ricotta is completely drained. Do this by placing it in a fine-mesh strainer that’s sitting on top of a bowl to catch the water. Cover with a piece of plastic wrap and place in the fridge overnight.
    • In a medium mixing bowl, add in the ricotta, mascarpone, and vanilla extract. Mix with a spatula until combined.
    • Sift in the cinnamon and powdered sugar. Stir until incorporated.
    • In a separate bowl, add in the heavy whipping cream. Beat with a hand mixer on medium until stiff peaks form.
    • Add the whipped cream into the bowl with the ricotta and mascarpone. Using the hand mixer, beat until everything is just combined.
    • Fold in the ½ cup of mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
    • Scoop the filling into the chilled crust and spread out with an offset spatula.
  • Sprinkle the remaining 1 to 2 tablespoons of mini chocolate chips on top.
  • Place in the fridge for at least 4 hours to allow the pie to set up. Letting it sit overnight in the fridge is even better.
  • Cut and serve.
