Finger licking, Creamy, Dreamy Delishness!

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 8 oz mascarpone cheese
  • 1 15 oz ricotta cheese part skim, drained
  • 1 cup confectioners Sugar (Powdered Sugar)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 3/4 tsp cardamom
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp ginger powder
  • 3 cloves

Serve with:

  • Waffle cones
  • Strawberries

Instructions

  1. Using a hand mixer, in a medium bowl, mix together mascarpone and ricotta cheese, until smooth. (~1-2 minutes). Slowly add the confectioners sugar - 1/4 cup at a time - and continue to mix until sugar is incorporated. Next add in vanilla extract, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, ginger and cloves. Mix until all ingredients are incorporated. **Perform a taste test to see if you would like to add more sugar. I prefer a subtle sweet taste, so you may want to up the sugar a bit, depending on preference.**
  2. Cover bowl in plastic wrap and refrigerate for ~1-2 hours.
  3. Serve with broken up pieces of waffles cones and strawberries!

Recipe Notes

  • Be sure to drain the ricotta cheese, to get rid of any excess liquid. You can use a cheese cloth for this, or some sturdy paper napkins.
  • If mixture is runny, add in a bit more powdered sugar.
  • I have made this recipe with out using a hand held mixer, so if you do not have one, you can still make this! Hand held mixer makes the dip a bit more creamy, whereas with out it, it is a bit grainier.
  • The cloves are added in for aroma and flavor, but you can discard from dip once completed. You can also omit if you do not have.
