Instructions

Prepare and bake the cake in a 13×9 baking dish according to the package directions.

Cool the cake completely.

Use a wooden spoon to poke holes across the top of the cooled cake. Do not poke all the way through to the bottom.

Reserve ½ cup of the sweetened condensed milk. Pour the remaining sweetened condensed milk over the top of the cake. Ensuring it seeps into the holes and evenly coats the top.

Refrigerate for one hour.

Meanwhile, combine the ricotta cheese, mascarpone cheese, vanilla and cinnamon in a large bowl.

Slowly mix in the confectioner’s sugar until combined.

Stir in the reserved 1/2 cup of sweetened condensed milk.

Spread the ricotta mixture evenly over the top of the cake.

Sprinkle mini chocolate chips over the top.

Refrigerate for 2-3 hours before serving.

Right before serving, dust with additional confectioner’s sugar.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Drain Your Ricotta Thoroughly 🧀
Line a fine-mesh strainer with cheesecloth and drain ricotta for 30 minutes before mixing to remove excess moisture, preventing a soggy cake and ensuring a creamy, stable filling.
Toast Your Mini Chocolate Chips 🍫
Lightly toast mini chocolate chips in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes before folding them into the filling to intensify their flavor and prevent them from sinking to the bottom.
Chill Between Layers ❄️
Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours between assembling layers to help the filling set and allow flavors to meld, making the cake easier to slice and more flavorful.
Balance Your Sweetness ⚖️
Reduce confectioners sugar by 1/4 cup and let the sweetened condensed milk carry the sweetness, preventing an overly sugary filling while maintaining that classic cannoli flavor.
Dust with Cinnamon at Serving Time 🤎
Wait until just before serving to dust the top generously with cinnamon rather than mixing it into the filling, so the spice remains bright and the aroma hits first.
