Description
A simple no-bake pie with creamy cannoli filling and a crisp cookie crust. It captures the flavors of cannoli without the frying.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/4 cups crushed vanilla wafers
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 15 ounces ricotta cheese, drained
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- Whipped cream, for topping
- Maraschino cherries, for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Combine crushed vanilla wafers and melted butter. Press into a 9-inch pie plate.
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth.

- Stir in cinnamon and drained ricotta cheese until smooth.
- Fold in mini chocolate chips.
- Pour filling into the prepared crust.
- Chill for at least 4 hours, or until firm.

Notes
- For a firmer crust, bake it at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes. Let cool completely before filling.
- Ensure the ricotta cheese is well-drained to prevent a watery filling.
- You can substitute graham cracker crumbs or shortbread cookie crumbs for vanilla wafers.
