Cannoli Dip

When I think of good Italian pastries, the first thing that comes to my mind is cannoli! It's found in every Italian bakery! And it's always served at important family gatherings in our house! My favorite kind of cannoli is the little mini ones! Sometimes the pastry shell is dipped in chocolate! The best!!! But a properly made cannoli, in my opinion, must contain mini chocolate chips!

I recently had a huge cannoli craving, so I decided to make a quick recipe that I knew would satisfy me! I used my recipe for Cannoli Cream Dessert and tweaked it to make that recipe into a dip.

This was so quick to make...only took about 10 minutes for me to be in cannoli heaven!
I served my Cannoli Dip with graham crackers! I was a very happy camper!
