Equipment

  • 9-inch pie pan
  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer or whisk
  • Fine mesh sifter
  • Spatula

Ingredients

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 15 oz whole milk ricotta cheese, drained
  • 8 oz mascarpone cheese, softened
  • ¾ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • ½ cup mini or regular semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup sweetened whipped cream or Cool Whip
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar for dusting
  • ¼ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a bowl until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  • Press the mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie pan and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, beat the ricotta and mascarpone together until smooth and creamy.
  • Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon, then mix until fully combined.
  • Fold in chocolate chips gently.
  • Spoon the cannoli cream filling into the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
  • Chill the pie in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Before serving, spread or pipe whipped cream over the top, sprinkle with extra chocolate chips, and dust with powdered sugar.

Notes

If you want to switch things up, consider using crushed cookies like Oreos for the crust or swapping mascarpone with cream cheese.
This pie can be made ahead of time and actually tastes better after it sits as the flavors meld.
For a dairy-free version, use vegan ricotta and coconut whipped cream.
Make sure to drain the ricotta overnight for the best texture.
