Pumpkin Spice Cannoli Dip Food

PUMPKIN CANNOLI

Steps:

• Stir 1 cup confectioners' sugar, pumpkin, mascarpone cheese, ricotta cheese, pudding mix, and pumpkin pie spice together in a bowl until smooth.
• Beat cream in a chilled bowl with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form; fold into pumpkin mixture. Spoon pumpkin mixture into a resealable plastic bag and snip a 3/4-inch hole in 1 corner. Pipe pumpkin mixture into each cannoli shell. Garnish the ends with sprinkles and confectioners' sugar.

PUMPKIN CANNOLI CREAM DIP

Steps:

• Place the ricotta cheese and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. (If you don't have a stand mixer, you can put the ingredients in a bowl and use a hand mixer with the blending attachments.) Mix on slow speed just until the ingredients are blended together, a few seconds, then raise the speed to medium-low and continue to mix until smooth, about 1 additional minute. You are looking for the sugar to help break down the cheese and for the sugar to dissolve.
• Once the mixture is smooth, add the pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice. Allow the mixture to fully combine on medium speed. Once the mixture is smooth, add the chocolate chips and stir by hand to combine. Place the mixture in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
• Put the carved pumpkin on a display plate. Place the top of the pumpkin back on top. Spoon the cannoli dip into the mouth of the pumpkin and out onto your display plate. Sprinkle the dip with white chocolate chips. Arrange the chips around the dip and serve.

PUMPKIN SPICE CANNOLI DIP

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl (with whisk attachment if using stand mixer), beat the heavy cream until it thickens and stiff peaks form, roughly 3-4 minutes (when you pull the beaters up, peaks will form and not fall over). Transfer to another bowl and keep cold in the refrigerator.
• In the same mixing bowl (no need to clean bowl - switch to paddle if using stand mixer), beat together the ricotta, pumpkin, powdered sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and ginger until smooth.
• Fold in the whipped cream until fully incorporated then fold in the chocolate chips. Chill at least 1 hour before serving.

SUPER EASY PUMPKIN SPICE DIP

Steps:

• Soften the cream cheese and thaw cool whip.
• With a mixer on medium speed, blend the cool whip, cream cheese, and gradually blend in the pudding mix and eggnog.
• If it seems a little thick use a few more tablespoons of eggnog, milk, or half-n-half to thin it down to a good dipping consistency.
• Can be served within minutes!
• Serve with crisp pear and apple slices, ginger snaps, vanilla wafers, etc.
• Other variations: Try the recipe with vanilla pudding and pie filling, milk instead of eggnog, and two tablespoons of peanut butter--serve with apple slices and celery sticks.
• Or use butterscotch pudding and pie filling,, or pistachio pudding and pie filling,, nix the eggnog and use milk to thin the dip.
• You could even double the recipe and fold this into a cooked pie crust, chill 1/2 hour, and serve.
