Add ricotta, cream cheese and powdered sugar together in a medium mixing bowl using an electric hand or stand mixer. Blend on medium speed for 1-2 minutes until fully combined.
Add in vanilla, lemon zest, and most of the chocolate chips (reserving a handful for garnishing). Mix well using a rubber spatula.
Cover dip and place inside the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
When ready, garnish with the remaining chocolate chips. Serve with broken waffle cone pieces and assorted fruit.

Storage:

To Store: Store your cannoli dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-5 days.
To Freeze: I do not recommend freezing this dip. When frozen and thawed, the texture will become grainy and no longer creamy.

Tips:

Make sure your cream cheese is softened to room temperature.
Be sure to allow this dessert dip to chill. It may require chilling for more than 30 minutes.
I highly recommend using a stand mixer or hand mixer to combine the ingredients.
This dessert dip can appear more “flat”. It contains heavier ingredients and won’t look as “whipped” as other dessert dips due to the consistency.
For the waffle cone pieces, you can simply purchase waffle ice cream cones or waffle bowls. Break them into potato chip size pieces for dipping.
For a pretty presentation, serve this dip in a large bowl in the middle of a platter surrounded by waffle cone pieces and halved strawberries.
