CANNOLI DIP

Steps:

• Combine ricotta cheese and mascarpone cheese together in a medium mixing bowl and using a hand mixer, mix on medium high speed for several minutes or until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
• Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract and beat until combined and smooth. (Start on low speed to avoid a powdered sugar shower...)
• Fold in all but two tablespoons of the mini chocolate chips. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. The dip is best after 1 hour but can be served in as little as 15 minutes if need be.
• Just before serving, sprinkle on reserved chocolate chips and dust with powdered sugar if desired. Serve with desired dippers and enjoy!

ORANGE CHOCOLATE CANNOLI DIP

Steps:

• Put the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave, stirring every 30 seconds, until melted, about 1 1/2 minutes.
• Pulse the ricotta, confectioners' sugar, orange zest, orange liqueur, if using, and vanilla in a food processor until smooth. Add the chocolate and pulse until well combined. Transfer to a small serving bowl and sprinkle with a little more orange zest. Refrigerate until ready to serve. (Dip can be made up to 1 day ahead and kept refrigerated in an airtight container.)
• Heat about 1/2 inch oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350 degrees F and line a tray with paper towels. Working in batches, fry the wonton wrappers, turning once, until crispy and golden brown on both sides, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes per batch. Transfer to the lined tray.
• Dust the fried wonton wrappers with confectioners' sugar and serve with the chocolate orange dip.

• Mix the ricotta, confectioners' sugar and liqueur in a bowl. Fold in the chocolate chips. Serve with strawberries and wonton triangles, pita chips or cookies for dipping.

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.

• Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, at least 10 minutes.

BREAD-BOWL MOZZARELLA DIP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Combine the mozzarella, feta and butter in a large bowl. Slice off the top 2 inches of the bread boule and hollow it out, reserving the top and insides for dipping. Fill the bread bowl with the cheese mixture. Transfer to a baking dish, cover loosely with foil and bake 20 minutes.
• Uncover and crack the egg on top of the cheese mixture. Continue baking, uncovered, until the egg white is almost set, 12 to 15 minutes, then broil until just set, 1 to 2 more minutes.
• Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the red pepper flakes. Just before serving, break the egg yolk with a fork and beat into the melted cheese.
• Serve with the bread trimmings or crudites.

DECONSTRUCTED CANNOLI CHIPS AND DIP

Steps:

• Fill a Dutch oven one-third full with oil and heat to 350 degrees F.
• Fry the wontons in a single layer, not overcrowding the pot. Flip the wontons once or twice until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the wontons with tongs or a slotted spoon and drain on a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet. Repeat until all the wontons are fried.
• Place the ricotta, sugar and liqueur in a large bowl and stir until well combined. Whip the cream in a separate bowl with a handheld mixer until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream and 1/2 cup of the chocolate chips into the ricotta mixture.
• Transfer the ricotta-cream mixture to a medium dip bowl or 8-by-8-inch baking dish and spread evenly. Starting from the left side of bowl, make a row, from top to bottom, of the pistachios, followed by a row of the cherries, then the remaining 1/2 cup chocolate chips. Freshly grate orange zest over the top and plate the wonton chips on the side. Dust the chips with confectioners' sugar and serve.
