Cannoli Cheeseball

I prepared this dessert for Easter 2015.  I forgot who I got it from but it was amazing.  It says in the instructionst hat you can use either vanilla wafers or Graham Crackers.  I like it alot better with the Graham Crakers.

Cannoli Cheeseball Recipe

Ingredients

• 8 oz brick cream cheese, at room temperature
• ½ cup ricotta cheese
• ½ cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1¾ cups mini chocolate chips, divided
• Vanilla Wafers or graham crackers, for serving

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the ricotta, powdered sugar and cinnamon and beat until combined. Stir in 1 cup of the chocolate chips.
2. Dump the mixture out onto a piece of plastic wrap. Gather the plastic wrap around the top, squishing the mixture into a ball shape. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
3. Place the remaining ¾ cup of chocolate chips on a plate or in a shallow dish. Open the plastic wrap and turn the cheeseball filling onto the chocolate chips. Use your hands to roll the ball to coat in the chocolate chips.
4. Serve with vanilla wafers and graham crackers.
5. **Make sure you are using full fat ingredients, not skim or low-fat. Low-fat ingredients will alter the final product.**
