Trader Joe's Sweet Cannoli Dip

There’s a time-honored saying that “it’s what’s on the inside that counts”, and that’s especially true if you happen to be talking about a superlatively sweet, cream-filled pastry. Taking this axiom to heart, we’ve created a dip that’s entirely inspired by what’s on the inside of a classic Italian dessert: introducing Trader Joe’s Sweet Cannoli Dip! Made with a base of cream cheese, sour cream, and ricotta, this is a remarkably rich dessert Dip full of sweet, vanilla-tinged, ever-so-slightly tart notes and a velvety, frosting-like consistency—just like what you’d find within a freshly baked cannoli.

Freed from the confines of its traditional, crispy, pastry shell, this Sweet Cannoli Dip can be enjoyed in any situation that calls for something extra sweet. Try it as a spread on crackers or short cake, as a layer in a super luxurious trifle, or mixed with berries and melon for a full-flavored fruit salad. Of course, our favorite way to indulge might be the one most tied to its inspiration: joyfully scooped up with crispy, crunchy cookies to create a kind of deconstructed, shareable, sweet cannoli appetizer.
