Holy cannoli dip this stuff's amazing.
I shamelessly ate most of that bowl (pictured above) with a spoon shortly after the photo was taken. Luckily the macros on this dip are pretty great (only about 450 calories and almost 35g of protein). More on the macros later though.
This cannoli dip is...
Wonderfully creamy
Smooth
Filled with decadent chocolate morsels
& Most of all
Guilt-free
Cannoli dip is an annual holiday tradition for my family. So, I definitely wanted to share this recipe with you guys. If I hadn't gotten the idea to do the Super Dip series before the holidays I would have come out with this recipe much, much sooner. If you've never had the wonderful experience that is cannoli dip, or you just never thought to healthify it, prepare to fall in love. Honestly, I had a spoonful, and then 10 more. So be careful.
This stuff's addicting!

Do you need help losing weight, but don't know where to begin?
My e-book Macros Made Easy can help!
The book is a detailed weight loss guide that shows you step-by-step how to build a weight loss plan specifically for you.
One of the most frustrating things about dieting is hitting weight loss plateaus. That's why Macros Made Easy also comes along with a spreadsheet to hold you accountable, and track your progress. The spreadsheet will also alert you when you need to make adjustments to your diet so you can continue losing weight, and avoid those annoying plateaus.
I started tracking my macronutrients (protein, carbohydrate, and fat intake) over 6 years ago - and I've lost over 70lbs because of it! Not only have I lost the weight, I've kept it off too. Plus, I didn't eliminate any foods from my diet to do it- and neither will you!
If you're ready to start your weight loss journey today, you can pick-up a downloadable copy of Macros Made Easy here!
Hey! Could I sub the ricotta cheese for cottage cheese?
Loving your website and channel btw!
Awe thank you so much! I've spent plenty of hours trying to make both of them the best I can :) ... On to your question, unfortunately I don't think you'd get the right consistency with cottage cheese.
This is a really great desert option! I recommend adding a bit of ground cinnamon for a more authentic cannoli flavor.
