Ingredients
- 8 oz. ricotta cheese softened
- 4 oz. mascarpone cheese softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 large pinch salt
- Mini chocolate chips for garnish
- Chopped pistachios for garnish
Instructions
- Measure out the softened 8 oz. ricotta cheese and 4 oz. mascarpone cheese in a large bowl.
- Mix the ingredients together using a hand mixer, bending until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute. (This step will be easier if they both are at room temperature.)
- Sprinkle in ½ cup powdered sugar — be sure to run it through a fine mesh strainer if it’s lumpy — and pour in the 1 ½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract. Add 1 large pinch salt. Mix with the hand mixer until smooth.
- Transfer to a serving vessel. Garnish with Mini chocolate chips and Chopped pistachios, if desired.
- Serve with cannoli shell pieces, your favorite fruits, pretzels, Graham crackers, cookies or more.
