What is cannoli dip?

Well offset, a cannoli is an Italian dessert with a sparse pastry vanquish that's filled with cannoli foam made from ricotta cheese, heavy cream, and powdered sugar. Cannoli dip is essentially just the filling but eaten as a dip! Some people serve information technology with a broken-up ice cream cone or a like type of cookie for dipping.

This version of cannoli dip is totally dairy-complimentary, and served with grain-free crackers for an allergen-friendly manner to enjoy a archetype dessert!

The Ingredients for Dairy-Costless Cannoli Dip

  • Palm Shortening. I always use spectrum palm shortening for a sustainable option!
  • Coconut Cream. You'll want to employ coconut cream that is hardened, but not then much then that information technology'south impossible to work with! If it's besides hard, suspension it upwardly with a fork a bit earlier using information technology in this recipe.
  • Powdered Sugar. I go for organic powdered sugar to avoid cornstarch!
  • Vanilla Excerpt and a pinch of Orange Juice. The pinch of orangish juice helps to requite a slight tang that you'd get from cheese!
  • Mini Chocolate Chips or Chopped Chocolate. I opt for a dairy-gratuitous version.

How to make Dairy-Free Cannoli Dip without Cream Cheese

  • Whip with an electrical mixer. Combine the palm shortening and kokosnoot cream.  Add the sifted powdered saccharide, vanilla excerpt, and orange juice. Whip with the manus mixer until fluffy and fully combined.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips. Add the chocolate and fold information technology in using a safety spatula.
  • Serve! Serve with grain-gratuitous cookies (similar these) for dipping. Serve at room temperature.

Can you make this recipe with a unlike sweetener?

If yous tin't practise powdered sugar, yous can try some maple syrup instead. However, the starch from the powdered saccharide is really what makes this dip fluffy, and so it won't exist quite the same without information technology.

Can you make this recipe ahead of time? How exercise you lot store information technology?

This recipe is best fresh as it will harden if kept in the fridge for a few hours. I suggest making it fresh and serving it at a gathering! If yous're wanting a smaller portion, you can half the recipe.
