Cannoli Pie

SERVES: 8

CHILL TIME: 3 Hr

Better leave room for dessert, 'cause our Cannoli Pie is a new take on the classic Italian cannoli. Mmm, mmm! We can't get enough of this!

What You'll Need

1 (32-ounce) container ricotta cheese
1 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1/3 cup chopped maraschino cherries
1/3 cup blanched chopped almonds
1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
1 (9-inch) chocolate graham cracker pie crust

What to Do

In a large bowl, stir ricotta cheese and confectioners' sugar until smooth and well combined. Stir in cherries, almonds, and chocolate chips.
Spoon into pie crust, cover, and freeze for at least 3 hours.
Remove pie from freezer and allow to sit for at least 10 to 15 minutes before cutting. Cover and store any leftovers in the freezer.

Notes

To garnish, top each slice with a dollop of whipped topping and a maraschino cherry just before serving.

The first time I made this I used Greek non-fat yogurt which I think has too much of a "bite" or sourness to it. I also went too heavy on the orange zest. I am now going to try to use regular low fat yogurt and go easy on the zest. I also use vanilla wafer crumbs instead of graham crackers. Every recipe seems to use graham crackers and I personally like the flavor of the vanilla wafer crumbs better

I made the cannoli pie but I put the filling in the small indivisual pie cups so everyone got thier own pie the end for a great dinner. Living alone you don't have to thaw the whole pie I take one out when I sit to eat my meal

I made this, but put mixture into mini cupcake liners inside a mini cupcake tin and froze them in the cupcake tin. Once they were frozen, I popped them out of the cupcake tin, and put them inside a freezer container and back into the freezer for a quick dessert or mini treat. I highly recommend this recipe!!!
