Recipe Box, Lite Cannoli Dip

How about a dessert than is a little less guilty

A sweet treat that feels indulgent

Yet made with low fat ricotta and whipped cream cheese,

Served with low cal dippers

You’ll feel like you had a slice of cheesecake

But with a lot less fat and calories!

This would make a great party dessert dip on a buffet, or can be served individually with small ramekins and dessert plates with an assortment of dippers

It’s light, creamy with just enough chocolate to satisfy…

Psst…you could also use it for a cupcake filling or icing…

Indulge!
